We have seen what landmines did in Afghanistan where the Russians scattered millions of mines from the air. Hundreds of thousands of peoplemost of them civilians--have lost limbs. and huge areas of that country today are uninhabitable and will remain that way for decades. In Cambodia. refugees are finally going home only to be killed or crippled by the millions of landmines that lie hidden in the Jungle there. I spoke to one American who runs a program to make artificial legs. He told me "The mines in Cambodia are being cleared one leg. one arm. one life at a time." The same thing is happening in Mozambique. where this boy lives.
