Spending Money on an Old War

The US will spend $2.5 million to remove old, American bombs from Laos next year. Washington spent $1.4 million last year. The bombs are left over from the Vietnam war. They didn't explode then, but they've been going off ever since -- killing Laotians. The US dropped 2 million pounds of bombs on Laos from 1964 to 1973. (Philadephia Inquirer)
