Thus, the appropriate question is whether or not a weapon can be discriminately used. For example, a bullet can be aimed at combatants. An artillery shell can be aimed at combatants. Likewise, a cluster munition can be aimed at combatants. It can be used within the laws of land warfare.
Indeed, I made this point a bit earlier, and he ignored it of course, because it doesn't prop up his already weak argument. Any weapon can be used to kill combatants or non-combatants equally.
