I agree cluster bombs have some issues. Including the fact that they are basically many hundreds of fragmentation grenades, some of which end up just lying in wait for someone to touch them.

Because of the long-term ill effects, I agree a ban or limit may be in order regarding cluster bomb usage in settings where many civilians are present.

But, I see the source of information that is stating they are currently being used in Iraq as dubious at best. So, my thoughts go to cluster bombs generally, as I do not see them being used in the fertile crescent these days.
