Cluster bombs: the gift that keeps on killing (and maiming)

Imagine you can't imagine what to get for Christmas for your awkward and unpleasant neighbours. You want the gift to be something that they will remember and that will make an impact on their lives for the foreseeable future.

In such circumstance I always recommend the dropping of a course of cluster bombs. They hang about for years and will have a dramatic impact on the lives of their family especially their children.

Who is opposed to banning these munitions? The usual suspects: the US, the UK, China, Russia, Israel and Hezbollah.
