>>You are overlooking mines we sold to other countries. Anything to make a buck.<<
Ah, yes, evil capitalism, rearing its ugly head. Of course, you do not mention that Western countries have not exported landmines in many years. I am wondering why you have refrained from deriding those nations which still make and export landmines, with the same phrase "anything to make a buck":
There are virtually no officially acknowledged exports of anti-personnel mines in the world today. Most states which continue to produce mines, such as Russia, China, Pakistan, South Korea, Turkey and the US, have moratoria on their export... Iran, Iraq, Serbia, and Vietnam are thought to be the only producers without an export moratorium.
