--------------------------
Perhaps Hillary is in the wrong party? (only one repuke voted in favor).
The bill in the US congress would only ban cluster bombs in civilian areas.
How anyone with a conscience could be against that is beyond me!

4. It seems a 2nd bill

sponsored by Leahy and Feinstein was passed in the Senate in 2007, which provided only a partial ban and banned use in known civilian areas. I don't know if it survived Bush's veto though. but once again, Obama voted in favor while Hillary along with McWar and Lieberman voted against it.
