Cluster bombs have killed and maimed thousands of civilians across the world. Now there's a global move to ban their use. Delegates from more than 100 countries have gathered in Dublin to try to secure an anti-cluster munitions treaty. However, perhaps more notable are those not attending, including the United States, China and Russia ... the world's biggest producers of cluster bombs. The US instead wants non-binding guidelines on the use of the weapon, as Anand Naidoo reports.

May 20, 2008 - When a military such as Hezbollah hides in civilian area in order to provoke counter attack and then uses the "peace movement" to protest against Israels attack on civilians..isnt such a "peace movement" just a weapon of war?

May 21, 2008 - I'm not american, and i'm definitely not Pro-American and Pro-Bush. I'm not kidding ~ China is such a different part of the world if ppl do not learn enough now about China now, the possibility of extensive marginalisation is huge. And, as i said, it probably doesnt sell advertising. I watch Aljazeera for my newa, but i'm not all-loving.

May 21, 2008 - Listen dipshit, name me ALL historical time and places where "peace" was present because of a superior military force. You have failed to prove your theory just as much as your adversary. All you have is a theory, a theory that you hope the whole history of mankind exibits, seems like a fairly weak theory to me.
ehunter2 Says:
May 21, 2008 - Historically the list encompasses basically all of Western Civilization from Pax Romana to Pax Britanica, to Pax Americana. From the containment of the USSR, Americas defeat of Germany and Japan and the explosion of prosperity and security that resulted. You are the typical ignoramus "idealist" that knows nothing but whats on your bumper sticker.
Renegen1 Says:
May 21, 2008 - Apparently you've failed to understand what I was telling you, a few examples here and there does not mean the race of humanity is like that. Are you now an anthropologist? No you're not, so next time you come up with one of your crazy theories and generalizations, don't forget to put a disclaimer saying "very biased opinion of a know it all"
ehunter2 Says:
May 21, 2008 - Look you sound very young and/or very ignorant. I am pointing out to you historical facts.. for example Pax Romana. The peace that was created via the Roman Army imposing it on endless tribal wars. This name "Pax Romana" should ring like a bell inside any educated head. But instead it goes in one ear and out the other because you have no sense of history. So why dont you shout some trendy slogan "BushHitler" etc and shuffle off..okay?

May 22, 2008 - are you talking about the "peace" that exists now thanks to our superior military force? thanks to the "explosion of prosperity and security" that you tout, our world under the washington consensus suffers from 35% unemployment, hunger and diseases which could be wiped out if we diverted from our lunatic policy of perpetual war and military spending. but then what would you do? you'd have to join the human race. shudder

May 22, 2008 - ehunter: Don't know where I've said anything about "feel good." You apparently don't believe in military science or good police work, in which the motivations, views and plans of your opponent need to be explored. Instead, you're mired in old thinking rooted in a "carrots and sticks" approach. We're not interested in the old stuff; read Petraeus' 28 articles of his new counterinsurgency manual for the emerging paradigm. It helps to have an open mind.

May 23, 2008 - This is the view of the world as it looks from the drawing board with a nice Starbucks Latte resting at your elbow. Clue..the world the "real" one, the Islamic one, doesnt care about your reason, or paradiams or 28 Articles with subparagraphs A-Z. Its a world where poverty is unimportant, violence is wholly a positive thing, killing Americans by any means is a ticket to Paradise, nuclear mushroom clouds are the Allahs blossoming flowers. THAT mindset is not going to fit into your tidy plans.

Jun 6, 2008 - buy a gas hog, support henry kissinger, 666, 3000 bombers diverted to cambodia, a neutral country, skull and bones just laugh and go tee hee at all of the suffering they have caused since 1832.
Mel7766 Says:
Jul 19, 2008 - I thought when you go to war the idea is to win. Why not ban rifles and side arms?
libbina Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - Ummm...did you WATCH the video? Maybe you had it on mute? I think its pretty clear why these are different than side arms. They kill civilians indiscriminately and they continue to kill and maim for decades after the conflict is over. Way to oversimplify though.
N4LNE Says:
Oct 9, 2008 - I though when you went to war you went to KILL the other side until there are no more muslims or other trash left. Notice this video is from the muslim news group aljazeera trying to get us to stop killing them. Sorry boys I am all for ordering another few hundred tons of these weapons and using them all on any place a muslim sucks air. Alas Babylon!!!!

CAPCBMERRITT Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - we fight wars to win, if civilians get caught up the smart bomb/dumb bomb/spec. bomb/ cluster bomb thing, so be it
colbertLOTR91 Says:
Dec 4, 2008 - it's easy to say stuff like that if you are living in a peaceful nation. Let me ask you this,If you are shot during a gang shooting,would you say so be it too?

May 20, 2008 - Sincere question to peaceniks Are you interested in "peace" or are you more interested in feeling good about yourself because you are for "peace"? Name one actual historical time or place where there was "peace" without a superiour military force to force that peace to happen?
