The BBC special report on land mines is interesting. The US comes off rather well, curiously enough, as a non-signatory that has been doing more to remove them than just about anybody else, whilst certain signatories and non-state actors have been planting them anyhow. The last word was given to Tamar Gabelnick, Treaty Implementation Director for the International Campaign to Ban Landmines.
"One can argue the military value of any weapon - even a nuclear bomb - but does that make it moral? No."In a democratic society it is not OK to use any weapon to get the job done."
Shall I assume that English is not her first language, and she misspoke? Or shall I conclude that she has no idea what she is talking about?
