A treaty banning the use of cluster-bombs was passed by 111 nations. Guess a nation that wasn’t part of the ban? That’s right, the good ole U S of A. The reason?
State Department spokesman Tom Casey said the United States remained committed to United Nations-sponsored talks that seek voluntary codes of “best practice” among leading makers of cluster bombs.
Yeah, because I am supposed to trust this administration to voluntarily do the right thing? I think not!
We have many ways to kill people in America. I find it hard to believe that our signing onto a treaty that bans one form would hurt us in anyway. And by not using cluster bombs, we would prevent things from happening like small children picking up unexploded shells from the cluster-bomb and blowing off their arms. I guess when you are war profiteering, you want to make sure that you can cause as much death as possible to prove you give more bang for your buck.
