What would you do with $668 million? Use some to feed some of the world's hungry? Use it for disaster relief? Health care? Literacy? $668 million is the amount estimated we'll need to clean landmines from Afghanistan - a project that will take, conservatively, the next ten years. Add to that the $700 million already spent de-mining Kuwait after the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the $70 million spent so far in Kosovo... ? This information makes me crazy, and what makes me crazier still is that the United States is one of only 14 countries that refuses to halt production of landmines and has an estimated 11 million landmines stockpiled, the third largest mine arsenal in the world. Bush is revisting US landmines policy. Why don't you drop him a letter letting him know how you feel? more
