Cluster Bombs: A Weapon out of Control - Human Rights Watch

Short film documenting the lethal effects of the use of cluster munitions worldwide, with commentary, new statistics and analysis from military experts at Human Rights Watch. Footage shows how cluster munitions have endangered civilian populations from the Vietnam era through current conflicts in Iraq and Lebanon. During the last THREE DAYS of the War on Lebanon, Israel fired up to 4,000,000 cluster bomblets according to UN estimates - twice the amount used by the US in the attack on Iraq in 2003.

So much evil in the world., and these arseholes trolls on this vid are so boring and predictable with I'm going to say something really shocking and your going to get offended and call me something back and that makes me feel really important. Don't make me laugh. Anyway, all bombs are evil and cowardly as soon as the majority of the people realise this its bye bye war. The control is coming down all over the world. It will be impossible to intimidate millions and millions of good people.

Cluster bombs should continue to be used. besides it doesn't matter if they they get killed by unexploded bomblets they're the badguys.

I saw a commercial where it depicted small town USA kids playing in a field and then mines were going off and killing them. It never made it to TV from what I understand because people didn't like the idea of confronting their own hypocrisy

The people from human rights watch don't like cluster bombs but abortions are perfectly acceptable in their minds

Stop with all of the pointless political jabbering, these weapons cause a lot of civilian causalities, and they are just like you or me, human. It's unreasonable to think we could live in a world without weapons, but can't we live without weapons that that cause more harm than good? These bombs cover a large area, so I'm confused to as why countries would use them in areas with a lot of innocent people? Couldn't they use something more, accurate?
