Given what I know about the Yugoslav wars I can say with near absolute certainty that using cluster munitions on Yugoslavia (Serbia) was entirely warranted.

    No, using cluster munitions is never fucking warranted, the land is still blighted today, 25 years later.

    Ill feel sorry for them when the Serbian government stops trying to be little Russia. Until then I will propose that they deserve an increase in munitions saturation.

    Unexploded cluster munitions don't target Serbian politicians, they tend to hurt children more frequently than anyone else.

    This is why it's almost universally agreed that weapons that don't discriminate between soldiers and civilians and continue killing long after a conflict has ended are a special kind of evil and a crime to use even in war.

    The other reason being that less precise weapons just aren't as effective at actually destroying military targets.
