"i believe that a cluster bomb is a greater 'wmd' than gas."

Cluster bombs are no different than regular bombs, except they're more OF them per bomber. Gas is considered different.

"Also the depleted uraniam casings that are cast aside are a 'wmd'."

Bzzt. Just based on the levels of radioactivity they might have, it would take years to kill anyone. Leftover mines, unexploded ordinance and such are a bigger hazard than uranium dust that probably settles quickly after being ejected, uranium being dense.

"Tell me why it is ok for one nation to cluster bomb cities this year and why it very bad for a gas attack in 89. Is 89 the year we draw the line on when one was good and when one was bad. I never quite understood that ?"

Two different weapons, for one. And you make it sound like we carpet bombed Bagdad; we didn't. If we had there wouldn't have been a museum for the Iraqis to loot, for one.
