Your omelette; their eggs
If you’re gonna make an omelet, ya gotta break a couple eggs. There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.
Cluster bombs don’t just leave a bit of a mess around the kitchen. This is not some limited set of easily fixable costs we are talking about. People are dying, needlessly; conservative estimates place the number around 10,000-15,000 Iraqi civilians and some peer-reviewed results place it around 100,000. If you want to say that these innocent people’s lives are worth whatever the hell it is you hoped to accomplish, then say so, but at least have enough respect for the dead not to pass off their deaths with facile proverbs.
Anticopyright.
