17. Staying away from the inflamatory
but it doesn't matter how many people or children it has killed when one is too many. I know if were one of mine it would be.

To ban the use is going to take hard and irrefutable evidence. Right now, the military believes it saves the lives of American troops because it just wipes out anything it hits. If the troops or civilians could prove it has long term damage, then--poof--a case can be made.

I know that there are studies out there; but they are either flawed or insufficent in their credibility. Who knows.

All I'm saying is: once concrete proof is offered, General Clark could be the strongest ally of those who are rallying against its use. The other point of importance is what would any other Dem candidate do or say? So why pin this on Clark?
