[] [] Yes Lasers should be banned like blinding gases were banned after WWI. "Ban cruel laser weapons' says Red Cross". New Scientist. 19 Nov. 1994 - "SEVENTY years after the spectre of soldiers blinded by gas during the First World War led to an international ban on chemical weapons, the Red Cross is campaigning for a ban on the use of battlefield lasers to blind the enemy. This time around, says Louise Doswald-Beck, a senior legal adviser to the Red Cross, it should not take a practical demonstration of the effects to convince nations that they should be banned."
