WHITE PHOSPHORUS

White phosphorus is used in so many military applications, that to ban it completely would take away a lot of vital tools from the military. Smoke grenades, flares, tracer bullets. Its not like they used napalm on those in Falluja. This I could understand their being upset with the choice of weapons, but when you have insurgents in spider holes and other cracks and crevices, you do what you can to get them out. In WW II, the Japanese where burned out of their hiding places with Flame throwers.

The world isn't up in arms about the insurgents use of IEDs, or suicide bombers which kill more civilian non combatants than soldiers. So, why isn't the world condemning them instead of the way we have to fight them?
