Well I'll say this, I think anti personell mines are crap, in general. But the fact that these mines make themselves paper weights 48 to 336 hours after they are deployed is a lot friendlier than those of the past.
I don't want to see civilians die, But trust me, just cause a country says they won't use mines doesn't mean shit. At least for once the U.S. is being honest about the weapons and take measures to ensure that they aren't killing kids and nocoms.
I was a 13 Bravo in the U.S. Army. Part of that job is to remove mines as well as deploy them. And I always found it funny how there all these countries that "aren't using mines" generating new models every year. The only difference between the ones we are putting out and their's is that our's are using technology to limit who it damages, and their's are making it increasingly dangerous to disarm them.
I don't like Bush, and I can only hope America won't be stupid enough to relect him. But before everyone jumps on a bandwagon about an issue, they should at least know the truth about it, if thats ever really possible.
