US now pro land mines
 
US No Longer Promoting Landmine Abolition

United Nations - In 1994, the United States was the first nation to call for the elimination of landmines that killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of innocent people around the world.

But that was then. Today, Washington not only stands in opposition to an international treaty that bans the use and production of antipersonnel landmines, but intends to make new ones too.

In reversal of its earlier policy, the U.S. is reportedly planning to produce a new generation of landmines called "Spider" by March 2007, a move that has alarmed civil society groups campaigning for a global ban on the use and production of landmines for years.

I thought this was about "US No Longer Promoting Landmine Abortion".

Which would also be in line with this administration's agenda.

But those were invented by the Terrans who were generations removed from anything on Earth, and they were all descended from criminals. So, more like Australians than Americans.
