gamahuche: "Isn't it interesting how these initiatives are always ignored by the so-called "Great Powers"?"

These were my first thoughts as well. Although I applaud the nations who are signing this agreement, it's always the same story: those who don't use them sign the agreement and those who do don't. As soon as the story started on the evening news where I first heard about it, I commented: "I bet the US won't sign." Why should they? After all, they couldn't sign the land-mine treaty either. How could they when they "need" those mines?
