That's a little tour you didn't read much about in your local media, did you?
Laos is a commie country next door to Viet Nam that was the recipient of over two million tons of bombs during the Nam era.
They say that two million tons of bombs on a little country like that makes it the most heavily bombed country in the history of war.
But be that as it may, they allowed Hillary in for a visit.
Hillary was astonished to find that forty years later farmers and their kids in rural Laos were still being killed and maimed by unexploded cluster bombs America dropped there over forty years ago.
What's even more astonishing is that Henry Kissinger, the architect of the war on Laos, is at this moment sitting in his flat in Manhattan instead of in a cell at The Hague.
