I like Tapped, but this post is off the wall. The US isn't going to sign the land mine ban, for various reasons. I don't know if they're good or not, I go back and forth. But signing the ban wouldn't be "somewhat symbolic", but completely symbolic, and would do absolutely nothing for the people of Afghanistan, where the only places there aren't land mines are where the ones there have recently blown up. If you want a land mine ban, find another case.

The textile tariff, of course, is a different matter, and economically and morally indefensible.
