You be the judge: UN denounces Israel cluster bombs

The UN's humanitarian chief has accused Israel of "completely immoral" use of cluster bombs in Lebanon.
UN clearance experts had so far found 100,000 unexploded cluster bomblets at 359 separate sites, Jan Egeland said.

"Ninety per cent of the cluster bomb strikes occurred in the last 72 hours of the conflict, when we knew there would be a resolution," he said.

He said it would take 12-15 months to clear the devices, and that people were being wounded and killed daily.

"Cluster bombs have affected large areas - lots of homes, lots of farmland," Mr Egeland said, describing the statistics as "shocking new information".

He added: "They will be with us for many months, possibly years. Every day, people are maimed, wounded and killed by these weapons. It shouldn't have happened."

Bush tells it like it is, not how you WANT to hear it. In other words he "doesn't beat around the Bush".

I didn't vote, partly because i don't live in America, so don't launch that at me. What i'm saying is, Bush backs the Israelis right? but the Israeli's kill innocent Lebanese. Bush drops bombs on innocent Iraqis, and Afghans. How is this religiously let alone morally right according to his own Christian faith?! He condemns gay marriages, saying that in his faith it's wrong. Anyone understand what the hell he means?

Not to bash the right or left but just to make sense of some stuff. Terror is an emotion, so we have waged a war on an emotion. Well let's see terrorists who we connect to the war on terror have people in their lives that they love, so should we start a War on Love? How can we claim war on an emotion, at least I agree with Bush on one thing, and that's not always the outcome. Bush did state war on "islamic facists" and clarified who the US waged war on. So we need to drop the war on "terror" because we cannot fight an emotion, just like when someone's loved one dies and they feel the grief, they can't fight it, change it to the true targets and make it a War on Islamic Facists.

OK, I'm giving you a situation you may have heard about in the news, not very recently, but if you didn't, answer whether you think this is a Terrorist Organization, and afterwards I'll tell you what the government said.

This organization opposes what they consider to be inhumane treatment of animals in product testing. They use bombs to blow up facilities, but only when they are sure no humans are present or in danger.

Terrorists?

MOST republicans dream of winning the lottery or starting a successfull business venture and becoming super rich one day .
THE reality is that many will never make more then a living working for others . THE closest they come is voting them in and some how feel conected to the rich .
YOU poor republican voting fools .WHEN will you wake up . BY the time you have half the money needed the rules will change again and you will never have any real wealth .
QUIT deluding yourselfs and vote independent if you want a chance .

I found it funny when you ask a skilled person in Nigeria who has a Master Degree in University Education to still write English test as prerequisite for immigration to Canada.
Is Canada speaking a different English Language apart from the one we use to know?
Nigeria being a multi-languages Country only has English as a unified language which every educated person speaks fluently if not better than an average Canadian.
Many people who ordinarily should have immigrate to Canada have being denied because of this factor. Canada should be more lenient and friendly as per granting immigratrion to a Nigeria intending immigrant who is genuinely seeking immigration rather than using English as a factor of rejection, afterall, English is the official language of every Nigerian.
