Stumble ThisUnlike around 100 other governments, the United States (the largest producer and user of cluster munitions) was not interested in meeting to talk on the banning of use of the aforementioned weaponry.

It will not commit to ceasing the use of cluster bombs. Because its too effective for their military use, you know like when they have to subdue a large tract of land where terrorists may or may not be hiding (Afghanistan).
Not to mention Israel loves them big time too, see how they used them during the war against Lebanon.
Besides, if the best consolation you have to offer is that we're no worse than Russia, China, and Pakistan, then you offer little consolation indeed.
