Representatives of more than 100 governments are gathering in Dublin,
Ireland for two weeks of talks aimed at finalizing a global treaty to ban
the use of cluster bombs. But the United States, historically the world's
largest producer, stockpiler, and user of cluster bombs, won't be at the
negotiations. Other major producers of cluster bombs‹Russia, China, Israel,
India and Pakistan‹also stayed away from the talks.

One of the most deadly weapons known to man after they've been deployed. Our government is truly showing it's colours. :(
