US, UK trying to destroy anti-cluster-bomb pact. Given the fact that their munitions stand a 25% chance of not exploding when they’re used, but rather stay on the ground waiting for some kid to get himself killed or maimed when he picks it up thinking it’s a toy, can there be a civilized excuse for cluster bombs? I don’t think so. The world doesn’t think so. But Tony Blair and Dick Cheney George W. Bush do. It’s no surprise that this unholy alliance is seen as a major threat to world peace.
