Anonymous, U.S sells arms

Anonymous, U.S sells arms to many countries; most of them like England, Japan, S Korea, Australia, Canada, and others are some of the most democratic countries in the world. Get the point? Dictators being dictators have nothing to do with U.S arms sells.

Russia just sold 100,000 Kalashnikov to Chavez, one of the worst current dictators in the world who like his idol Khamanei closes TV stations and hijacks power and bars candidates, and sells missiles to Iran which according to left wingers such as Guardian itself is one of the top 10 worst human rights offenders in the world, and sells to Belarus which is up there with the top human rights offenders, and to Syria  which is also up there with the human rights offenders, and to N Korea which is also up there with the top human rights offenders.

Gets your facts straight and stop listening and getting brainwashed by your Islamist leftist loonies.

Support for anti IRI groups: not proven, and even if it is, IRI started the conflict with the U.S, and the U.S has all the right to defend itself. When you start messing with people, people will start messing with you, to put it in simple terms.

I don't spread Moscow's propaganda, but you spread Washington's

The difference between you and I is that I linked to reports and articles criticizing Russia, the U.S., and Israel for using cluster bombs. However, you "forgot" to mention that the peace- and humanity-loving warmongers and napalmers in Washington DC are the Number One providers of weapons and training to murderous right-wing dictatorships around the world.

Washington also currently supports the "Islamic Marxist" Mojahedin who helped Saddam during the Iraq-Iran war, as well as the "Marxist" Pejak in Kurdistan, fanatical Sunni Jundallah in Baluchestan, and Arab "Ahwazi" separatists in Khuzestan. These are Uncle Sam's "friends" in Iran.

So why do you carry Uncle Sam's water? Why?

Anonymous, so you agree

Anonymous, so you agree that Russian bombings are wrong? Cause two wrongs don't make it right, does it?

Are you a Russian propagandist?

FK's phony tears

(Human Rights Watch's Policy criticizes both Russia and the US, but FK is a full-time US government propagandist and, therefore, doesn't say a word against Washington DC).

In February 2007, the United States rejected an international call to abandon the use of cluster bombs, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.

"We ... take the position that these munitions do have a place and a use in military inventories, given the right technology as well as the proper rules of engagement," McCormack said.

Forty-six countries meeting in Oslo on Friday pledged to seek a treaty banning cluster bombs by next year, with major user and stockpiler Britain and manufacturer France signing on, Norway said.

"We, ourselves, have already taken a couple of other steps with regard to technical upgrades to cluster munitions, as well as looking very closely at the rules of engagement, how they are used," said McCormack.

"So it is something that over the course of the years we have looked at very closely. We have taken very seriously the international discussion with respect to the threat posed by unexploded ordnance to innocent civilians," he said.

Japan, Poland and Romania refused to sign the accord, while key nations such as Israel and the United States did not take part in the conference.

The 46 countries agreed to "commit themselves to ... conclude by 2008 a legally binding international instrument that will prohibit the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions that cause unacceptable harm to civilians," according to the declaration.

A number of leading countries, including Britain and France, had previously said they wanted a ban to be part of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, a process which Norway and a number of other nations consider to be a failure.

A cluster bomb is a container holding hundreds of smaller bomblets. It opens in mid-air and disperses the bomblets over a large area.

The smaller bombs do not always explode on impact, which means they can continue to kill innocent civilians years later.

A recent report by Handicap International claimed that 98 percent of casualties from cluster munitions are non-combatants.

According to Wikipedia:

In the final 72 hours of the war between Israel and Hezballah, Israel dropped over 1,000,000 cluster bombs on Lebanese civilian populated areas. In August 2006, the UN's Mine Action Coordination Center in Tyre, Lebanon raised an alarm over the post-conflict impact on returning civilians of unexploded cluster bombs used by Israel against Lebanese civilian occupied village areas. Israel has not provided maps to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and Israel's refusal to cooperate with the U.N has further caused diplomatic tension. Israel used cluster bombs in Lebanon in 1978 and in the 1980s.

Since the war in 2006 nearly 300 Lebanese civilians have been killed, a small number of the people killed include UN peacekeepers stationed in Lebanon.

Lordy hallelujah, you mean

Lordy hallelujah, you mean Human Rights Watch counts now, commie liberals no more.

Yes it's a bad thing when cluster bombs are used in Shock and Awe operations.
