Lasers may ease pain for 'napalm girl' in AP photograph

Napalm girl in AP photoIn the photograph that made Kim Phuc a living symbol of the Vietnam War, her burns aren't visible — only her agony as she runs wailing toward the camera, her arms flung away from her body, naked because she has ripped off her burning clothes.

More than 40 years later she can hide the scars beneath long sleeves, but a single tear down her otherwise radiant face betrays the pain she has endured since that errant napalm strike in 1972.

Now she has a new chance to heal — a prospect she once thought possible only in a life after death.

"So many years I thought that I have no more scars, no more pain when I'm in heaven. But now — heaven on earth for me!" Phuc says upon her arrival in Miami to see a dermatologist who specializes in laser treatments for burn patients.

TVNL Comment:  To so many Americans, the Vietnam conflict is ancient history. To Kim Phuc and the millions of other victims of greed and corruption, war is unending pain and loss and horror.  Think about that once in a while.
