I have no idea what he is saying, but many people are dead against using cluster bombs because they last a long time and are very unstable. So in weeks and sometimes years after their usage the danger remains. And by that time it can only kill the innocent.

>> Are you saying that the American military targeted 33 innocent civilians with cluster bombs on purpose? The way you make it sound, they derived some pleasure from this action. << No. I'm saying that the survivors and the reporter cannot explain why they were targeted. I think it is more as reckless bombing, than for the pleasure of it. I don't think the pilots choose their targets, anyway. But I also think that targets are decided with a cavalier attitude. That, heck, they can't retaliate. And they can't defend. And they're the "enemy". So if some die who weren't a threat. Oh, that's too bad. It is not like they can sue for damages. Sarmad
