to me a ban seems a lot of hard work, when there is already structures in place
which have to be reinforced. the word Ban, though seems for some folk in the
movement an as easy rallying call for those who are unaware of the subject
history of the previous hard work done to make these weapons illegal. The word
ban is a long term view, and always benefits those organisations who maybe
unconsciously feel they would be redundant if their goals were actually
achieved. I'd rather not reinvent the wheel, espeically a square one!!

Is this actually your comment?

"DU-based dirty bombs need stopping, now. Would this not best be addressed
by a ban?"

DU weapons are already war crimes and illegal by operation of International
and
US law.

Your comment mystifies me, if you actually said it. We have all the laws
that are
needed. We lack the will.
