  • Let's Ban SUICIDE BOMBERS too.

  • Cluster bombs are very effective tool in certain tactical situation (Large amounts of combatants spread over an area). When victory is to survive and death, is defeat.

  • Forget USA, India, pakistan, Israel, etc... UN wouldn't hesitate to use them. & there wouldn't be a nation to oppose it.

  • that's the factor here I guess it probably is, but the point is they do have a use bombing waves of soldiers over a larger distance than conventional bombs or pitting runways so planes cant take off. Anyway if there to be banned? have they been fully banned?....If Politicians really cared then they would try and avoid wars in the first place because lets face it civilians will die in a whole other load of ways but wars make money and there will always be threats so they wont end anytime soon.

  • Bombs have killed civilians indiscriminatly, much more over the years than cluster bombs or land mines, look at London, Berlin Dresden etc but oh no land mines and cluster bombs are the most evil things on earth. Yeah id hate to have them go off on me months or weeks after they been dropped. Then again how is dying from a laser guided bomb that you happen to be near the target at the time any different? (i.e. command centre or whatever right near your house) Is it just the delayed death factor..

  • Those bombs at the start weren't cluster bombs so i kinda switched off and refuse to watch the rest of the video if its that inaccurate!

  • wow you managed to make absolutely no sense! do you even know what darwinism is? and no this would not be an example of social darwinism....

  • "They mistake them for candy or toys"

    Yep... That little bomb thing that harmed 15000 people are SOOO not bombs. Not like they blew up in people's faces when they tried to play with them before...

    I think this is called "Adaptation". Don't the liberals believe in Darwinism?

  • OMG bombs are being used in wars now?

    I thought we had switched to plastic paintballs and laser tag! How dare weapons be used in war!

    I mean God, why are we bombing people that only kill civilians!? It's not like they hurt anyone! Those Terrorists are innocent people! They only kill cause they were abused as children!

    /end sarcasm

  • Those are some dumb children.

    "Wow billy whats that?"

    "I don't know, lets kick it!!"

    EDUCATE YOUR PEOPLE. Get in a War, and Weapons will be used. Is it too hard to understand?
