Little Bombs

"46 of 49 Nations OK Ban on Cluster Bombs..."

When I first read this headline, I was certain that the US wasn't among the signers. But I was both wrong and right...our government didn't even bother to show up.

"Some key arms makers _ including the U.S., Russia, Israel and China _ snubbed the conference of 49 nations. Of those attending, Poland, Romania and Japan did not approve the final text."

Why? Is there anything worthwhile about these weapons? Anything at all? OK, you're right; they do help to balance our trade deficit.
