Pres. Obama and Landmines.... What's Going On?

The Oblogger received a press release from the State Department entitled "The United States is a World Leader in Humanitarian Mine Action."

This release comes days after the Obama administration received much-deserved criticism for not signing a treaty calling for a global ban on landmines.

One of the reasons given for the U.S. refusal is due to the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. This DMZ is filled with landmines and is allegedly the only deterrent from stopping an aggressive North Korea from attacking South Korea.

Veterans for America posts about the "Myths vs. the Realities" of U.S. landmines in Korea.

Dig a little deeper and the situation becomes complex. The Oblogger will wait to learn more.

Any information my readers would like to share on this subject would be most welcome.
