			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Version française plus bas)</p>
<p><strong>How come Vietnamese children get sick from Agent Orange, a herbicide that was sprayed over Vietnam more than thirty years ago?</strong></p>
<p>That’s the question some of you have asked me to answer…</p>
<div id="attachment_7028" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 502px"><a href="http://www.jetsetzero.tv/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/agentorange1.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-7028  " src="http://www.jetsetzero.tv/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/agentorange1-1024x460.jpg" alt="" width="502" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Agent Orange</p></div>
<p><span id="more-7013"></span></p>
<p>Agent Orange is a powerful defoliant used by the American army during the Vietnam war in order to destroy the forest where the Vietnamese guerilla was hiding. Agent Orange- as well as other herbicides- contained dioxine, a substance which, in great quantities, is extremely harmful to people, animals and their environment. Hundreds of kilograms of dioxin were dropped on Vietnam through herbicides.</p>
<p>Nowadays, the youth suffers from this pollutant for different reasons.<br />
Some areas of Vietnam are still full of dioxine, which means that some inhabitants are still directly exposed to it. The only effective way to quickly get rid of the substance is to heat it up to at least 1,000 degrees, which in practice is quite difficult to perform.</p>
<p>People get poisoned by dioxin through food. By eating contaminated fish and meat, and by drinking contaminated milk, dioxine piles up in their bodies. The children of Ky Quang orphanage most likely got poisoned while in their mothers’ wombs, through the placenta or breast-feeding. As a result of this, they suffer from physical malformations and sometimes mental disorders.</p>
<p>* * * * * * *</p>
<p>L&#8217;AGENT ORANGE?</p>
<p><strong>Comment se fait-il que des enfants vietnamiens soient malades à cause de l&#8217;agent orange, un herbicide déversé sur le Viêtnam il y a plus de trente ans?</strong></p>
<p>C&#8217;est une question à laquelle certains d&#8217;entre vous m&#8217;ont demandé de répondre&#8230;</p>
<p>L&#8217;agent orange est un puissant produit défoliant utilisé par l&#8217;armée américaine pendant la guerre du Viêtnam pour détruire la forêt où se cachait la guérilla vietnamienne. L&#8217;agent orange, de même que d&#8217;autres herbicides, contenait de la dioxine, une substance qui, en grandes quantité, est très dangereuse pour l&#8217;homme, les animaux et leur environnement. Des centaines de kilos de dioxine ont été déversés sur le Viêtnam sous forme d&#8217;herbicides.</p>
<p>Aujourd&#8217;hui, les jeunes générations souffrent de cette pollution pour différentes raisons.<br />
Certains coins du Viêtnam sont encore pleins de dioxine et donc leurs habitants y sont directement exposés. La seule manière de se débarasser complètement de cette substance est de la chauffer à plus de 1000 degrés ce qui, en pratique, est difficile à réaliser.</p>
<p>Les gens sont intoxiqués par la dioxine via la nourriture. En mangeant du poisson ou de la viande contaminés et en buvant du lait contaminé, la dioxine s&#8217;accumule dans les organismes. Les enfants de Ky Quang ont très certainement été intoxiqués quand ils étaient encore dans le ventre de leur mère par l&#8217;intermédiaire du placenta ou du lait maternel. En conséquence de quoi ils souffrent de malformations physiques et parfois de handicaps mentaux.</p>

<p>* * * * * * *</p>
<p>La plupart des orphelins de Ky Kuang ont été abandonnés par leurs parents parce qu&#8217;ils étaient anormaux à la naissance. Certains ont une malformation physique, d&#8217;autres sont aveugles et d&#8217;autres encore ont un handicap mental.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Sunday a few friends and I visited an orphanage where children suffer from birth defects due to Agent Orange, a chemical weapon used during the Vietnam war. An emotional encounter for all of us. (Video about Ky Quang orphanage coming up soon.)</p>
<p>* * * * * * *</p>
<p>Dimanche, en compagnie de quelques amis, j&#8217;ai visité un orphelinat où les enfants souffrent de malformations de naissance dues  à une arme chimique utilisée pendant la guerre du Viêtnam: l&#8217;agent orange. Séquence émotion. (Vidéo sur l&#8217;orphelinat Ky Quang bientôt sur le site.)</p>
