The Ugly Consequences Of Chemical Warfare In Vietnam
Agent Orange is the code name for one of
the herbicides and defoliants used by the U.S. military as part of its
herbicidal warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam War
from 1961 to 1971.
United States military sprayed 20,000,000 US gallons (80,000,000 L) of chemical herbicides and defoliants in Vietnam, eastern Laos and parts of Cambodia, as part of Operation Ranch Hand. The program’s goal was to defoliate forested and rural land, depriving guerrillas of cover; another goal was to induce forced draft urbanization, destroying the ability of peasants to support themselves in the countryside, and forcing them to flee to the U.S. dominated cities, thus depriving the guerrillas of their rural support base and food supply.

Exotic Beauty Of Israeli Women
Israeli women are giving themselves a
chance in the modeling industry and as a result, models such as Bar
Refaeli and Esti Ginzburg are posing for lingerie, underwear and other
clothing apparel. These models show that Israeli women have an exotic
beauty that men like us cannot resist as well as drive us crazy. Indeed,
white-skinned ladies are being replaced by Israeli women when it comes
to beauty.
