On the failure of U.S. cluster bombs

Sit in front of the Lebanese parliament on the occasion of International Day of Action against Cluster Bombs(Reuters - Archive)

The failure of the U.S. effort to regulate the use of cluster bombs, rather than blocked after objections fifty countries, and activists say that anything less than a total ban of this type of bomb would be rose to unprecedented human rights laws.
Attempts have failed the last minute, led by the United States on Friday in Geneva to sign the international agreement to limit the use of cluster munitions when it hit fifty countries opposed calls to ban these munitions.
While the United States called on China and Russia to set controls only on the manufacture and use of cluster bombs, activists say that such controls would provide legitimacy to this kind of ammunition, which represents a retreat from the Oslo International, which seeks to ban it altogether.
He spent diplomats from 114 countries two weeks of negotiations in Geneva in an effort to conclude a treaty on cluster munitions less sophisticated bombs and missiles that split a large number of bomblets over a wide area and bomblets do not explode on impact to the land, and could pose a threat long after conflicts have ended.
The States defended on the draft treaty is supported by users and other major producers, including China, India, Israel and Russia.
On the other hand, a group of fifty countries from Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America rejected the draft treaty, including several countries and signed the Oslo agreement of 2008 which imposes a blanket ban on the use, stockpiling, production and sale of cluster munitions.
Washington says that the draft treaty, which stipulates the prohibition of cluster munitions produced before 1980, provides an opportunity to organize major users and producers of weapons and those who own about 85% of global stocks, but they did not sign the Oslo Accords.
According to the proposed draft treaty, Washington has said it would give two million cluster bomblets, and about a hundred million of the bomblets, which exceeds the size of the weapons abandoned by the 111 countries that collectively signed the Oslo Accords.
Activists say that the U.S. efforts, and supported by countries, simply to put controls on the manufacture and use of cluster bombs is that lends legitimacy to this kind of ammunition, which represents a retreat from the Oslo International, which aims to ban it altogether.
The diplomats concluded that the failure to reach agreement in Geneva after four years of negotiations, and a decade of discussions on the UN Convention on conventional weapons, is a blow to the credibility of the United Nations as a forum for the development of international law on disarmament issues.

First sura in the Quran

Al-Alaq

Sūrat al-ʿAlaq (العلق"The Clot"), is the 96th sura or chapter of the Qur'an. It is composed of 19 Ayat (verses or "signs"), and is traditionally believed to have been revealed at Mecca at cave Hira. It is sometimes also known as Sūrat al-Iqrā (إقرا, "Read").

Translation

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
96:1
Read in the name of your Lord , Who created-
96:2
Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:
96:3 Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,-
96:4 He Who taught (the use of) the pen,-
96:5 Taught man that which he knew not.
96:6 Nay, but man doth transgress all bounds,
96:7 In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient.
96:8 Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all).
96:9 Seest thou one who forbids-
96:10 A votary when he (turns) to pray?
96:11 Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?-
96:12 Or enjoins Righteousness?
96:13 Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?
96:14 Knoweth he not that Allah doth see?
96:15 Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,-
96:16 A lying, sinful forelock!
96:17 Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades):
96:18 We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!
96:19 Nay, do not listen to him but bow down in adoration and bring thyself closer (to Allah)!
.............................................................................


In this surah, God presents a concise but compelling argument: Man is a creature of wonder, beginning with its development from a biomass (or Alaq), who has been granted the gift of sentience by God. Then as a being Man divides into two distinct groups: those who recognize their cosmic condition, seek divine guidance (by 'reading' God's word), and bow to God's will (symbolized by 'prostration'); and those who even in the face of these apparent wonders of Man's condition, consider the Human to be an 'independent' entity, answerable to no transcendent authority, and even more contentiously, take it upon themselves to prevent the first class of man from following God's Word and submitting to Him.
God then states that the first type of Man, the believer, is the righteous one, and that the second class is both in error and is in fact a "lying and sinful" creature. The sura concludes with God's warning to the denier that the "guards of Hell" await, and that such men should cease from denying the believer the right to worship unmolested by them. The sura's last verse are words of encouragement to the believer to "not yield" to the threats of unbelievers but to continue in persistence in obeying God, and a promise of nearness to God for such a believer.

The First Revelation: Verses 1-5

Main article: Muhammad's first revelation

The first five verses of this sura are believed by nearly all sources, both traditional and modern, to be the first verses of the Qur'an to be revealed to Muhammad. A few commentators disagree with this account, claiming that the first revelation was the beginning of surat al-Muddaththir or surat al-Fatiha, but theirs is a minority position.
Those verses state that God created man from a "clot of congealed blood" and gave him knowledge. The fetusin the womb in the primary stage before creation of a heart looks like a clot of blood. But al-‘Alaq also means leech-like form, which is similar to primary stage of an embryo and overall a fetus or a child in the womb which sucks its nutrition like a leech from its mother. Another meaning of ‘Alaq is sensitive drop of blood.
Muhammad is first commanded: Iqra!. The literal translation is Read, Recite!.

Verses 6-19

The remainder of the surah, revealed later, questions the morality and beliefs of mankind, who "thinks himself self-sufficient", unaware that all things will return to their Lord. The text continues, addressing the impiety of "the man who forbids Our servant to pray". These later lines are thought to date from the time when Muhammad began to pray the salat in the Kaaba. Abu Jahl attempted to interrupt the prayer by trampling on Muhammad's neck while he was prostrated. "Does he not realize that God sees all?"
The Qur'an commands Muhammad (and by inference all believers) to continue the prayer regardless, as those who persecute the faithful are unaware that God sees what they do.
