Imagine a barrel full of grenades dropped from a plane and dispersed over a football field.

The brouhaha over cluster bombs is a direct result of not having anything else to complain about. There is no quagmire, the civilian atrocities are turning out to be the result of the Ba'ath regime, and noone's falling for the "it's soooo hot" stories they tried to float.

They contain small bomblets that are effective on armor and troops. they disperse widely. Some don't explode and they worry about children picking them up.The bomblets were the same color as some food packets in Afghanistan.
