And a moat filled with sharks (laser beams properly attached to their heads, of course)
Oh, I see, you are trying to bait me into providing you a quick reference list where you quickly refute each one individually, and provide a hypothetical scenario where landmines could be better, if used by properly by the US. But the fact remains that if the world collectively decided to not use them, we would all be better off.
I don't want to walk down this road, and am quickly appreciating the war-of-words that I shake my head at on Tilted Politics.
Here we go...
