The main reasons land mines should be banned are:

(1) they are part of a "scatter" approach, and hence damage most those least responsible for whatever has annoyed the perpetrators of the mines, and
(2) they are so dangerous and difficult to find and eliminate later.

Congratulation to all who work to eliminate them, especially those in the field!

Noted. Thank you Monica for sharing this very important issue with us. Land minds are so cruel, I agree with Alejandra. They should be banned NOW and forever.

Hateful cruel weapons of brutes. They must be banished from the arsenal and those still out there, found and disposed of. Thanks, Monica.
