Het is natuurlijk leuker te geloven in dogma's dan in feiten.

Je neemt me de woorden uit de mond en hier is een feitje dat jij blijkbaar graag negeert ten gunste van de 'dogma's' (beter : reclame) die de wapenindustrie graag rondstrooit :
98% van de slachtoffers van clusterbommen de laatste 30 jaar waren burgers.

As many as 98 per cent of victims of cluster bombs over the past three decades have been civilians, a third of them children, a report has disclosed.
The study of 24 countries and regions by the humanitarian pressure group Handicap International showed that the weapons, still being used by government forces including those of the UK, have killed or maimed 11,044 people.
This is the first attempt to collate data about cluster-bomb victims worldwide, and it warns that under-reporting of cases in places such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam means the real figure could be almost 10 times higher.
Around 27 per cent of the victims were children, mainly boys who were working or playing in areas where the munition had been used.
