Terror Starts at Home

RECEIVED Mon., Dec. 27, 2004

Editor,
   The tragic story of the Ukrainian opposition candidate’s poisoning should rattle people’s brains. This most deadly toxin used in Kiev is the same chemical named as a key ingredient of Agent Orange, the product developed by DuPont chemicals during the Vietnam War to defoliate the jungles, thus revealing the enemy hiding therein.
   Only recently has the U.S. government even acknowledged that the ailments being reported by the thousands of U.S. servicemen who came in contact with Agent Orange might possibly be related to the defoliant’s ingredients. The international reports of thousands of Vietnamese people who were sprayed by Agent Orange developing cancers and other serious ailments have been largely ignored by U.S. government officials.
   Think about it, folks! Using the criteria being applied today to such international monsters as Saddam Hussein, who used chemical weapons of mass destruction against his own people, then added to the world’s list of individuals who committed crimes against humanity must be presidents Lyndon Johnson and Nixon, Defense Secretary McNamara, and generals LeMay and Westmoreland, all of whom either authorized or ordered the use of WMD against Vietnam.
   Is the USA a terrorist state? Think about it!
