I just learned that the five years of Vietnamese and American secret bombings not only made Laos the most heavily bombed country in the world (per capita), but has created one of the largest expanses of protected forest in the world because the shrapnel absorbed by the trees has made them absolutely useless pieces of wood that would break any bandsaw that dared cut through them, and the mines laid throughout the jungle would make the logging too dangerous anyway. Maybe Kissenger was just an ecoterrorist.
