In May this year I created a thread where I expressed outrage that the USA had done nothing about the 80 million unexploded bombs it dropped on Laos during the Vietnam war, which continue to kill 100 people or so every year. I argued that this was a pretty serious crime and some US politicians - those who put the bombs there, and those who oppose removing them - are comparable to the worst terrorists in recent memory.
Earlier today Obama said the US had a "profound moral and humanitarian obligation" to clear every single piece of unexploded ordnance (UXO) in the country. He was speaking at a rehabilitation center for the victims of unexploded ordnance in Laos, on his final tour of Asia before leaving office. One of his final acts before leaving office will be to double spending in this area to $90 million.
While it's good that he has acknowledged the USA has this duty, $90 million is a laughably tiny amount and at this rate the UXO will never be cleared. The war in Afghanistan cost $685.6 billion. The US needs to offer funding on that order of magnitude in order for me to be persuaded it is not a country of mass murdering terrorists. I also believe there needs to be an International Criminal Court for the Vietnam war to put politicians like Henry Kissinger on trial. There needs to be one of those for every war the USA has fought since then as well. Really, Obama has only offered rhetoric and not justice.
EDIT: I like Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle's take on this:
