Cluster bombs are indiscriminate. The horror inflicted on Laos by US cluster munitions should make banning them a no-brainer. No right-minded person would use these weapons.

The potential victims of the unexploded ordnance are the people using them. Their usage is also being arduously tracked. Bit different than throw a bunch of cluster bombs at villages.
