With some archaelogical support, unless you try and dismiss the Biblical Archaeological Review as a monthly fantasy magazine or something. As for Moslem religious claims, they have a heavy flavor of Muhammed-come-lately to them. No way would they have primacy. Also no particular reason to call for throwing them out, either.

Cluster bombs are indiscriminate weapons. The fact that they were used proof the fact. It is not my claim, just the simple fact they used it.

Both sides use indiscriminate weapons, albeit Israel on a much larger scale and that's what I meant with the splinter and the beam.

Bombs, period, are indiscriminate. I cannot get more worked up about cluster munitions vs. Mk 84 2000-pound GP free-fall bombs in any rational way, for reasons seen above. And any unexploded ordnance of any description is still trouble, and the way to bet is it's trouble on a hair trigger. They're still losing farmers around Mons, Verdun, and the Somme to stuff that landed there ninety years ago.

All tough talk from your comfy EZ chair, UG. Come back to me when you find them in your room and back garden. And tell Maggie when she goes bezerk again about these nasty Katushas...

If you are currently active in EOD work, Hippikos, then and only then may you talk shit to me about UXO. Unless you are currently active in EOD work, you've got no call to kick. Nor would it hurt to spell "berserk" or "Katyusha" right [stress the first syllable, btw, KAHT-yusha... can't tell you why the Russians called a bombardment rocket "Kathie," but they did]. If you're going to piss people off, don't do it stupidly -- we tend to put your balls in the Osterizer and hit "pulse."
