that were used by the US military forces during their spraying
operations over South Vietnam from 1961 to 1971. Contaminated with
dioxin, these toxic chemicals have left Vietnam, its environment and its
people with a war legacy that will remain for generations. But,
strangely enough, Monsanto seems to be most welcome in this country and,
most ironically, has been honoured as a “sustainable agriculture
company.” The many victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin might have a different
opinion.<br><div><span></span></div><div> </div><div style="color:rgb(255, 127, 0);"><font style="color:rgb(255, 127, 0);font-weight:bold;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" size="2"><span style="font-family:bookman old style, new york, times, serif;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">===============================</span><br>Chuck Palazzo<br>Agent Orange Action Group</span><br>http://aoag.org/<br><span style="font-family:bookman old style, new york, times, serif;">Chapter 160, </span></font><font style="color:rgb(255, 127, 0);font-weight:bold;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" size="2"><span style="font-family:bookman old style, new york, times, serif;"><font style="color:rgb(255, 127, 0);font-weight:bold;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" size="2"><span style="font-family:bookman old style, new york, times, serif;">Hoa Binh, </span></font>Veterans For Peace</span><br>http://vfp-vn.ning.com/</font><font
