'short is the road that leads from fear to hate' <br /> Giambattista Casti 1721- 1804 <br /> <br />In Afghanistan, Cambodia, Angola, <br />Bosnia and Mozambique, there are <br />in excess of 45 million land mines <br />laid to maim or kill. <br /> <br />The victims are usually civillians <br />many of them children. <br />Over five million new land mines <br />are laid around the world every year, <br />a mere 10,000 are cleared. <br /> <br />It costs $3.00 to make a mine. <br />Over $10,000 to uproot one. <br />What kind of madness is this? <br />Death and mayhem for profit?<br /><br />jerry hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/land-mines-2/
