Who Are the Most Heavily Bombed People on Earth?





The Laotian people have lived with the sad distinction of most heavily bombed people on Earth.
Every eight minutes for nine straight years bombs were dropped on their heads.

From 1964-1973 the U.S. ran 580,000 bombing raids on the landlocked country bordering Vietnam.  The Mother Jones video above and recent story by Fatima Bhojani outline these outrageous events.
