U.S. Rejects International Call to Ban Cluster Bombs
Quote:
|
The United States has rejected an international call to ban the use of cluster bombs. On Friday 46 countries agreed in Oslo to develop a new international treaty to ban the use of cluster munitions by 2008. The United States, Russia, Israel, and China chose not to attend the conference. U.S. allies Romania, Poland and Japan attended the conference but refused to sign the Oslo Declaration

Well what else is new. Basically if we banned them we couldn't sell them. Not good for business.
