I guess EU can only pay few of these suffering ppl to make the world know that they care or so they can sleep well at night with a feeling of satisfaction, but don't have any guts to stop...what caused these sufferings

The use and production of weapons are part of defensive policy. This is not a Community policy but specifically a Member State competence. The Commission is thus neither a party nor can it become a party to any weapon convention or can it take any initiative in this particular field. There is therefore no EU-wide ban on the production or use of cluster ammunition.

That's just one example. There are hundreds of thousands of people like that in Iraq now. Thanks to US. Killed more than Saddam would have till his natural death:)

Yes! I hope israelis get eternal life as u wish, and that this man which suffered for many years, will die before u and hopefully goes to heaven...so that Israel get what they wanted and then go on killing eachother

Please see our five-minute trailer of "Hearts & Mines," a documentary about the leftover bombs still affecting civilians in central Vietnam -- 35 years after the peace was declared.

He is right: if people knew what bombs do, they would ban them. Ninety-eight percent of cluster munition victims are civilians.

You're an idiot, jnoubiieh: "There was NEVER an Israel..."? Israel was a nation for nearly two thousand years before the muslim religion was even invented. Try reading some actual History books before making asinine comments like this.

some bomlets don't explode and become mines.

[lennartjuhh]

a cluster bomb isnt a mine right?

[angelevat]

yea mostly correct. he's saying the person who creates the bomb knows what it does but the pilot just takes orders from the leaders and has no clue as to the consequences of dropping these bombs. and says if they did and still do it he has no humanatarian conscience.
