The truth is as long as there a humans there will be wars. Unfortunately innocent people will occasionally get caught in the crossfire. Liberals like to think there is a perfect solution for everything.

We are all innocent.

We are all fools.

98% of 13,306 recorded cluster munitions casualties that are registered with Handicap International are civilians, while 27% are children

Given that each cluster bomb can contain hundreds of bomblets and be fired in volleys, even a small failure rate can lead each strike to leave behind hundreds or thousands of UXOs scattered randomly across the strike area. For example, after the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, UN experts have estimated that as many as one million unexploded bomblets may contaminate the hundreds of cluster munition strike sites in Lebanon.

People don't like looking at the truth. Its much more fun to watch American idol or dancing with the stars.

Its possible that you will have kids of your own one day. You might then feel differently about cluster bombs that leave large numbers of unexploded bomblets which can (and do) kill children years after the fighting is over.
