on the other hand, there is no "friendly" way to drop a cluster bomb. From your Arab news source: They are mostly victims of unexploded munitions that are strewn throughout various residential neighborhoods — along streets, in family homes, in school playgrounds, in the fields belonging to farms... You are such an easy mark for propaganda it is really sad GST. The U.S. would clearly have more to lose than gain by dropping unreliable cluster bombs all over residential neighborhoods. In case you failed to notice, the coalition is trying to win the hearts and minds of the civilian population, not turn it against them. And why use unreliable cluster bombs when we have more discriminating weapons? If in fact anyone has strewn cluster bombs through civilian neighborhoods, it is Saddam and his Republican guard. Saddam could a) slow our forces down with cluster bombs and b) potentially gain sympathy from a fooled civilian population. Saddams's thugs have already proven multiple times that they don't give mass torture and genocide of the civilian population a second thought. Saddam's threshold for collateral damage is much higher than ours. Regards, Huey
