Democracy At Its Best In the West

Do you know anything about Thermobaric weapons, or vacuum bombs?

History According to Wikipedia will tell you all about it. But in Afghanistan it was used by the USSR, in 1980's and in Chechnya in 1990's. It was condemned by the whole world including US and we in UK. That was that at that time and the use of such weapons is a controvertial issue since then.

Now we have information what our glorious democracy is doing in Afghanistan, according to this:

"In June 2008, the United Kingdom (UK) revealed that its forces had used thermobaric munitions in Afghanistan. The munitions were delivered by the Hellfire AGM-114N from AH-64 Apache attack helicopters. American forces have also apparently been employing the weapons in Afghanistan from Apaches and from unmanned drones. The UK stated that the weapon will also be configured to be delivered from its own MQ-9 Reaper drones.[12]"

This is what we do to the rest of the world and when some tin pot king like Mugabe raises its ugly head we cannot do anything about it as we ourselves are guilty of worse astrocacies.
