By golly, you're right. Agent Orange, although not used to kill people, was used to kill crops
forcing farmers to move to urban areas and not support the NVA or Viet Cong. I would agree that
constitutes a form of 'chemical warfare'.

If we ever have to clear a minefield in Somalia, or elsewhere, I'd rather we clear our mines than
Russian or Chinese. Wouldn't you?
