Monsanto's war-zone harvest
Signs of the Times
18 Aug 2010 - In last month's tour of Central and Southeast Asia, two of the four stops made by United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton share the unfortunate bond of enduring an invasion by US air and ground forces. In the space of a few days, Clinton visited Vietnam and Afghanistan, thus physically linking what had once been and what has now become the United States' longest war. One of the more insidious links that tie these conflicts together was highlighted in a few of the news stories about Clinton's trip. That link, in a word, is agri-business.
