Default Britain gets rid of Cluster Bombs

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6472371.stm

I can't help but think that this is a politically popular move that will get soldiers killed in the future. There are some situations (i.e. massive amounts of enemy armor approaching an allied position) where nothing else, short of a nuke, will fit the bill. I'm just as horrified as anyone by the injuries CBU's cause to the civilian population, but this seems extreme and unwise.
