Petition Condemn the use of non-nuclear and chemical weapons on Afghanistan
The USA dropped the MOAB on Afghanistan today. Of course this was done to destroy 'ISIS' tunnels, but a bomb of this scale is clearly unproportionate to the threat. This act almost made Afghanistan seem like a testing ground to the US. I urge the UK government to condemn such action and not follow.

Within this article the destructive power of the bomb is highlighted, and is clarified. The reason as to why the U.K shouldn't follow in the steps of the US is also made apparent.
