Cluster Bombs and the New York Times

I spent a couple of hours yesterday with 80 to 100 other antiWar activists demonstrating against the Textron Corp in Wilmington, MA, a leading manufacturer of cluster bombs. It led me to thinking ...

Of course, it wasn't much of a demonstration, and it didn't accomplish much I am sure, but it felt as if we were at least speaking out about the fundamental inhumanity and criminality of producing even one cluster bomb, much less dropping a million of them on civilian targets.

Then today the NYT carried a story about the ongoing consequences of the massive Israeli dropping of a cluster bombs in Southern Lebanon....

Read the above, it is very important. The article and video in the Ny times is important too.

1. I blogged this at Screeching Rats! last month. I named the names.

Rather, I named the honor roll...the ones missing are obvious.
