Half a century ago, the United States dropped millions of cluster munitions in Vietnam and Laos. To this day, people in the region still die from dud bombs' explosions. The U.S. decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine will doom people in the conflict zone to the same fate for the next half a century or more. The UN, the U.S. allies, and even the American people themselves oppose this decision. The New York Times editorial describes this weapon as "morally repugnant" because of its "discriminate carnage." Now the question is: Will the global community remain a passive observer of this horrific choice? Or will the international community hold the U.S. accountable for its actions?
