There are plenty of non-lethal weapons that can be employed - at a cost. What I'm averse to is usage of things like landmines that continue to injure children for many years after the conflict ends and other cheap and indiscriminate weaponry.

With the exception of Vietnam (due to the pullout), we have accounted for and disarmed all landmines used in battle. So why should we sign the treaty?

Landmines, cluster bombs, napalm, biological weapons, toxin weapons are usually deployed against millitary targets, it's when the target is missed that things turn bad.

This simply boggles the mind. Everything that kills, when missed, turns bad. How about regular bombs? Heck a missed knife can kill, should we outlaw those too?
This is a war, people are complaining we used weapons that are legal, against legitimate targets firing on American/Iraqi forces, in a time of war. Whats the problem again?
