> The topic is mines in general. Scroll back: the only topic was landmines, the ban and the fact that under the current administration the US are no longer willing to sign. > By "such a weapon" do you mean mines or the type of mines that where scattered in 1991?

From my source (icbl.org): "At least 90,000 [US] antipersonnel mines were stockpiled in the region prior to the conflict.[Afghanistan, Iraq, 2001-2003]" I'd really like to see how one spreads or scatters those 90'000 landmines and keeps careful records where they are planted. > That isn't exactly an example of solid logic.
