Napalm it great stuff. It's great for clearing enemy out of tight spaces. Much better than sending in troops to get killed. It was banned by the UN because of that picture back in the vietnam era. Yes, sometimes civilians are injured in war. It's a terrible thing, but not because of the type of weapon used.

There are a couple of differences between the M 77 bombs and napalm. First, it's thicker so it doesn't end up where it isn't supposed to quite as much. Second, the delivery system is more accurate than the way napalm was delivered. Does it still burn and kill the enemy? Yes. Is it possible for it to burn civilians? Yes. But they're not the same. It's also possible to drop bombs on civilians and kill and maim them that way. Or shoot them. Or any other of a myriad of ways. But the fact is M77 is different and it's not banned. Even if it were, it's the UN, the last people we should letting tell us how to wage war.
