Pink against cluster bombs
“I think it is absolutely awful. The most awful thing is when innocent people and especially children get involved. These kids did not do anything to anybody. Governments choose some really inhumane ways to spread their power," says Pink who is known for her strong opinions.
"I think it is amazing what you guys are doing. Its brave, its scary, it makes you realize how small you are as a person when there is people like you guys out there in the world actually helping people,” Pink said in an interview with DanChurchAid just before the concert in Copenhagen, 24 October, 2006.

Cluster bombs continue to cause casualties
The use of cluster bombs in the 34-day war between Israel and Hizbollah pose a serious threat to civilians. The UNDP has reported that cluster bombs continue to cause casualties among the Lebanese population, increasing the suffering caused by the conflict.
So far, more than 100 people have been injured and 14 killed.
According to UNDP, 770 individual cluster bomb strike locations in Lebanon have been confirmed and recorded. The south is carpeted with unexploded cluster bombs, innocuous looking black canisters, which pose a deadly threat to villagers stumbling back to their homes.
