Obama hát Đại Bác Ru Đêm

"Over nine years -- from 1964 to 1973 -- the United States dropped more than two million tons of bombs here in Laos -- more than we dropped on Germany and Japan combined during all of World War II.  It made Laos, per person, the most heavily bombed country in history.  As one Laotian said, the “bombs fell like rain.”  Villages and entire valleys were obliterated.  The ancient Plain of Jars was devastated.  Countless civilians were killed.  And that conflict was another reminder that, whatever the cause, whatever our intentions, war inflicts a terrible toll, especially on innocent men, women and children.  Today, I stand with you in acknowledging the suffering and sacrifices on all sides of that conflict."       






"So today, I’m proud to announce a historic increase in these efforts.  The United States will double our annual funding to $90 million over the next three years to help Laos expand its work.  (Applause.)  This will help Laos expand its work to remove even more bombs, allow Laotians to farm more land, and increase support for victims.  I’ll bear witness to this work tomorrow when I meet with survivors."
