Dean wants to ban cluster bombs.
http://www.birddogger.org/news.php?id=96
At a house party for Gov. Howard Dean on South Road in Hopkinton, NH on July 10, I was able to ask Dean while he was shaking people's hands if he supported the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty banning anti-personnel landmines.

He said that he not only supported the US signing the treaty, but also that we should ban the use of cluster bombs as well, which are not included in the terms of the treaty. He said that he had spent time in Laos and had witnessed the damage that these weapons have, and he commented on the fact that most victims are civilians, many of whom are children.

2. From your profile:
Im from the "American" wing of the Democratic Party!

If Howard Dean wins, I register Republican.


Hmmmm. I'm not sure I understand that sentiment.

17. Fortunately you are brilliant enough to see through
such a devious conundrum. My hat's off to you, my brainy friend.

14. Yes... you can tend the rabbits...

Come, let's take a walk in the woods.

13. I doubt we'll see him past tomorrow
A one day hit-and-run poster who has a burning desire to stir up some coals of malevolence and flee, not having to face the consequences of his actions.

9. I suggest you take a bucket
go the beach and try to turn back the tide. You might as well get used to it.

16. Bwahahahahha.
You think it's the politicos supporting Dean? On your way down to the beach, I think you'd better pick up some aspirin. You're going to need it.

18. At least spell the damn thing correctly
I know it's petty, but if you're going to go around bashing a candidate with no facts, no cites, no links and no quotes, but instead merely an accusation that he is a Trojan Horse in this campaign, at least spell your insult correctly. I think that's the 5th different spelling I've seen you post.

6. Maybe the Support of the Liberal Wing

is leading Dean to adopt a more liberal platform. Stranger things have happened.
