There is no money to be made for Corporate America in this treaty. Let the slaughter continue so these mass murderers can continue to accumulate more blood money.

  "Their devastating impact on the battlefield often comes at a terrible cost to civilians afterward, including farmers who strike unexploded "bomblets" in their fields or children who mistake the objects for playthings."
  Meet me in Lebanon for a game of cluster bomb croquet, scrimmer...

        It's fairly disgusting, though not all that surprising from Americans, to joke about objects that on a regular basis cause small children to lose arms and legs. These are weapons systems that are often employed by Israel in direct violation of UN agreements.

These are hideous weapons which kill and kill and kill.
By their nature it is impossible to know WHOM they are going to kill.
They are scattered far and wide when they're dropped and can easily be picked up by children.
Once again the US stands on the wrong side, the anti-humanitarian side.
Shame!
