I just don't get it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment!

He started an organization of crippled athletes. Your blog entry triggered the thought of this documentary called Emmanuel's Gift about a disabled orphan living in Ghana. Check out the film if you can and thanks for writing bringing this to everyone's attention XOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182988312165929572.post-13420084815160092122007-09-13T09:45:00.000-07:002007-09-13T09:45:00.000-07:00Lotus,I think we would all feel the same as you if...Lotus,<BR/><BR/>I think we would all feel the same as you if we could see it first hand, touch the children like Princess Diana did in the 90's.

It's a commercial to raise awarness about the problem. It brings the point HOME. Would we stand for this if landmines were buried where OUR children play? I don't think so.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>LisaLisa McGlaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586141320197189197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182988312165929572.post-13807749161112984002007-09-13T09:42:00.000-07:002007-09-13T09:42:00.000-07:00Happily,From what I read it's because we don't wan...Happily,<BR/><BR/>From what I read it's because we don't want to remove the landmines we've planted on the North/South Korean border. Our government still thinks they are necessary. Go figure.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for adding your comment,<BR/>LisaLisa McGlaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586141320197189197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182988312165929572.post-24348476131401917362007-09-13T09:25:00.000-07:002007-09-13T09:25:00.000-07:00It's hard to fathom why our country wouldn't sign ...It's hard to fathom why our country wouldn't sign on to this.

But it's heartening to know that there are successful demining campaigns and programs to provide affordable prosthetics.
