Azhar Abidi,

What a hoax is human life!

Some of us are underfed and constantly hungry.

Some of us earn just enough to feed themselves.

Some of us earn more than what is enough.

The latter group set the excess aside for a rainy day.

Their savings cause a rain of bullets and bombs.

Azhar, we hear you and like landmines they tend to maim civilians long after the soldiers have gone home.

You do need to distinguish between what the funding is to armament manufacturers in general and how much of this goes to cluster bomb production. I think you will find that there is also a distinction between those who still make and store these but have not recently used them and those who buy and do use them.

For instance Spain does a roaring trade in making and selling them, the ones recently used in Libya were supplied by Spain.

You need to do a little more work on specifics but I do agree that such crippling injuries are very tragic

Hello! Its war. See spindoc, the name of the game is to kill as many people as you can. See, humans haven't evolved enough to understand population sustainability, and war does make countries lots of money.

Your a number, not a name.

Get with the program:)

Great article Azhar, I had heard about this decision of ACSI on the radio today, it is good that they are leading ahead of the government - upon whose interpretation their own legislation is of little meaning.

I will be checking with my super co about what their reaction will be.
