Ronn, not attacking you here just pointing out a few things.
One Cluster Bomb will cover an area the size of 12 football fields with bomblets.
20% of the bomblets do not go off.
People are still claiming that this war does not target civilians yet even yourself you have to admit that they are dropping food and bombs on the same place. By having to drop the leaflets (they are also doing radio broadcasts - the majority of Afgans being illiterate) they are admitting that the same people are getting bombed as who they are trying to get food aid to. So has the idea of this not being a war on civilians gone totally out of the window? The use of the cluster bombs seems to prove so. Also another interesting point about food packages:
In the Gulf War 7 people were killed by food packages that were useless to them anyway. The largely Muslim population was given pork... great...
