Yarrow calls for apology to  Vietnam
>From Associated Press

It's been 30  years since the last bombs fell during the Vietnam War, and 
longtime peace  activist Peter Yarrow says it's about time that America 
apologizes.  

During his first trip to Vietnam this week, the singer-songwriter from  the 
folk group Peter, Paul and Mary said that the war wounds of the United  States 
won't heal until the nation makes amends — a process he believes should  
involve helping Vietnamese suffering from the ill health effects of Agent  Orange, 
a defoliant sprayed by U.S. planes during the war. 

Yarrow, 66,  performed a benefit concert before a packed crowd in Hanoi's 
Opera House to  raise money for the cause and visited a village where U.S. 
veterans volunteer  their time to help children suffering from diseases and birth 
defects believed  to be caused by exposure to the chemical.
