> 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. I wasn't talking about sea mines. The "mines in general" statement was pointing out that we were not just talking about the air scattered mines that where used in 1991. As for "no longer willing to sign" I don't recall the current president ever expressing williness to sign the treaty. I'd really like to see how one spreads or scatters those 90'000 landmines and keeps careful records where they are planted. You can indeed keep careful records of 90,000 mines or more specifically the mine fields where they are laid. By US mines do you mean mines of US manufacture or mines planted by the US military? > That isn't exactly an example of solid logic. Let me close my argument here: there's no rational mathematical riddle to solve. I was not talking about mathematical riddles, just logical thinking and logically structured arguments. Tim
