"HANOI -- Thirty-five years after US forces stopped spraying Agent Orange in Vietnam, Vietnamese who were exposed to the defoliant are about to have their day in court.From 1961 to 1971, the US military sprayed more than 20 million gallons of Agent Orange and other herbicides over South Vietnam to deprive communist forces of food and forest cover. The herbicides were contaminated with poisonous dioxin. Vietnam says millions of its citizens have suffered diseases and birth defects as a result."
