    Laos had more bombs dropped on it than any other country in the world.... no wonder this is almost a "standard" laos ashtray-flowerpot holder....

    That's the kind of flowerpot stand I'd like, it would match the my French helmet hanging flower basket.

    Yes, reminds me of a surgeon I met in Afghanistan. Feeling that his community needed demining more than surgery (and the hospital had been destroyed anyway), he took up demining. Lost one arm and half the fingers on the other hand in a momembatry lapse of concentration (at the end of a ten hour day on nonstop demining). Also lost his surgical career. Now he's trying to start up a private school, but the school building has been destroyed three times by the occupation forces.
