Thursday, July 24, 2008
Phan Thi Hoi bathes her 14-year-old son. She was exposed to Agent Orange while in the North Vietnamese Army during the war.
 In our Global Activism series, we meet Vietnam vets raising funds to help victims of birth defects and chronic illness caused by U.S. use of chemical weapons. Also, we talk with historians of modern Middle Eastern history about U.S. foreign policy toward Iran, Iraq and North Korea as the Bush Administration conducts diplomacy with the so-called "Axis of Evil."
