Shaking hands with ‘Agent Orange’

It is always wise, but never easy to ‘forgive and forget’ an old foe, who has showered your fields with toxic defoliants and subjected generations to come to the ill-effects of the deadly chemical known as ‘Agent Orange’. This is exactly what the Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet has done by undertaking a historic visit to the United States – the first ever by a post-war head of the unified communist state (last November, Bush had visited Hanoi).
