Ban Cluster Bomb Weapons!

There is growing interest and action in banning cluster bombs following revelations of their horrible effects during Israel’s war against Lebanon.  Jewish Voice for Peace, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the Amer. Task Force for Lebanon are among the growing number of groups issuing statements, organizing petitions, distributing information. To learn more and sign a petition to ban these weapons here.
 
On February 9, Senators Feinstein and Leahy introduced Senate bill 594, the "Cluster Munitions Civilian Protection Act of 2007" to restrict the use, sale or transfer of cluster bombs where 1% or higher of the bomblets fail to detonate on contact. Their bill would also ensure that the risk of civilian exposure to these weapons is minimized. See also their press release. Sen. Kennedy (but not Kerry) is one of the co-sponsors.
