Targeting cities is already a war crime regardless the weapon.
Nor am I arguing that laying landmines everywhere is not immoral. Certainly not landmines in a city.
Im arguing that a concentrated land mine field across a small strategic piece of land (say a mountain passage, the DMZ) can be militarily effective and therefore help avoid war.
Does this then change the moral calculus of land mines?
