Put Your Foot Down: Cluster Bomb Op-Eds in Guardian and Examiner - Matthew Bolton

Cluster Bomb Op-Eds in Guardian and Examiner - Matthew Bolton

Dear all,

I had a couple opinion pieces on the cluster munitions ban published in the US and UK.

"Ban These Pernicious Weapons." The Guardian (Manchester, UK):

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/dec/06/armstrade-obama-white-house

"U.S. Must Agree to Prohibit a Gruesome Form of Warfare." The Examiner (Independence, MO, USA):

http://www.examiner.net/opinions_columnists/x1720682607/U-S-must-agree-to-prohibit-a-gruesome-form-of-warfare

I also wrote up a short entry on my blog:

"Congratulations to Cluster Munitions Campaigners"

All the best

Matt
