When you imagine France and its scenic countryside, you might think of the picturesque villages,vineyards a plenty and endless rolling green hills to drive through on a blissful summer road trip. But there’s one corner of this scenic country that no one has been allowed to enter for nearly a century, known as the ''Zone Rouge''.
That's fascinating and tragic. I knew unexploded munitions were still a problem in France, but not that big of a problem.
It does make one wonder what the eventual result of all that depleted uranium the US and its allies have been tossing around the Middle East and Afghanistan for the past decade and a half will be. These areas are nothing more than a savage testiment to man's desire to kill man.
