memestryker: "The "great powers" realize that psychopaths aren't going anywhere and there may be times when this appears to be the only way to stop a particularly nasty one (or group)."

So how exactly are you planning to use these bombs against psychopaths?

FTA: "Handicap International, says 98% of cluster-bomb victims are civilians and 27% are children."

Do you mean that you just hope that the psychopaths are among the victims? Or that the killed children won't grow up to become psychopaths?

Last year, as I was travelling in Europe, we had to take a detour in Budapest because a street was closed. We stopped and my friend asked the policeman what was going on. They had just found an unexploded WWII bomb in in one of the buildings. It wasn't a cluster-bomb, just an ordinary one, but these are, indeed, gifts that keep on giving.
