What a load of bollocks.  Stopping the USA's criminal resupply of Israel
with cluster bombs would have prevented what many increasingly see as a war
crime - area denial to civilians with what are effectively above-ground
anti-personnel landmines.

From time to time the USA amazes me - how can John Doe permit things like
this to happen in his name?  I meet individual Americans - they pick me up
from airports, introduce me to their kids, let me sleep over, buy me lunch,
etc.

And they let their government ship murderous munitions to Israel so it can
sow 100,000 bomblets in Lebanese villages to maim and kill children.
