3/14    Obama: Anti landmine.
        Clinton:  "uh... well... you know I don't want to be seen as weak
                   on defense...."
        McCain:  I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's pro landmine.
        THE CHOICE IS CLEAR.
        \- you know the landmine issue is more complicated than you and
           "Princess" Di spin it to be. Yes, scattering them around the
           countryside [Afghanistan, SE Asia] is irresponsible, but planted
           along a DMZ, they are defensive, not offensive weapons. I dont
           think a categorical ban makes sense. Of course we know what
           happened to John "nuanced answers" Kerry.
           \_ Yeah fuck nuance.  landmines suck.  they outlast your
              conflict.  they maim future generations.  no one should
              be using them.
           \_ I couldn't agree more. Just think what would have happened
              to the Federation if Sisko had adopted a nancy Euro-Picard
              "Mr. Worf Hail Our Surrender" anti-mine stance and had
              failed to mine the wormhole at the end of Season 5.
