Cluster bombs: a war's perilous aftermath csmonitor.com: "Cluster bombs: a war's perilous aftermath
UN figures estimate that 26 percent of south Lebanon's cultivatable land is affected by the ordinance."



The Christian Science Monitor reports that most of the cluster bombs used in Lebanon were dropped in the last three days of the way. Clean up costs are in the tens of millions of dollars , and human costs far higher. I have to question the management decision to use these weapons. How could they provide an advantage equal to their cost? Could someone answer?
