The petition has evoked a powerful response from all over the world. Among the endorsers are tens of thousands of Vietnamese, many of whom have written to Len Aldis to express their appreciation for his initiative. The following example is fairly typical:
“I am 13 years old and I'm Vietnamese. I'm very be moved and fired by everything you did for many person in my country . I'll call upon every body sign in your website. Thanks for every thing you did for my country.”
Adds Len Aldis, “We urge everyone who seeks justice in this matter to join us in signing the petition, and to encourage others to do so as well.”

Open letter to the American people from
Vietnamese victims of U.S. chemical warfare
The Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin has published an “Open Letter to the American People”, calling upon them to raise their voices in the ongoing struggle to cope with with the environmental and human catastrophe resulting from the United States' chemical warfare against Vietnam.
The letter reads in part:
“We, the Vietnamese people, ceaselessly thirsty for peace and friendship, have exerted great patience in demonstrating our preparedness for cooperation with the U.S in solving the cruel war consequences, especially those severe evils resulting from horrible chemical warfare. However, this has met no positive response. . . .
“For the sake of justice and noble conscience, please raise your voice and demand the U.S Court of Law to conduct serious litigation proceedings, and that the U.S chemical corporations to fulfill their compensation liability for the victims of Vietnam, of the United States and of other countries.
“The present struggle is directly aimed at the peaceful and happy life of our future generations on this planet.”
