>>>Its all about doing the right thing, right?<<<

You really believe that "doing the right thing" means dumping tons of ammunition, some of which isn't even battlefield tested, upon a population of 22 million, 42 percent of which are children under the age of 15? And that the need to promptly do this is a consideration for the weather, rather than diplomacy?
