In the 2007 film Charlie Wilson's War, there's a scene where Democratic Congressman Charlie Wilson is conversing with Gust Avrokatos, CIA agent, and he says, of his recent trip to the Middle East, "I saw two kids, had their hands blown off, when they tried to pick up somethin' shiny..."
Gust says, "Sometimes the kids think those bombs are toys."
Wilson: "For children to pick up."
Gust: "Yeah."
... they're talking about land mines, which Princess Diana, in the last year of her life, campaigned against.
And the "conservative" people in the British Parliament complained about her, said she was "a loose cannon" and working for the "Labour Party."
How they could stand up for land mines vs. Princess Diana trying to get rid of them, is beyond me.
