A Close Look at US Use of Cluster Bombs in Iraq

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/graphics/world/gcluster/flash.htm

They used cluster bombs on Iraqis when we were 'helping' them last time,

and they expect us to believe they care so much they are going to 'help' them again??

The use of cluster bombs is a war crime.

Interestingly, The journalist who was beheaded was researching cluster bombs.

because leaving little yellow packets everywhere that look like food for children to pick up and have their limbs blown off just doesn't seem like a nice way to help people

We are a sick country that loves killing and destruction. Our use of cluster bombs and land mines and depleted uranium is unforgivable.

Perhaps people would finally realize we are not on a humanitarian mission in the middle east.
