The considerations are hardly bizarre.
People live in warzones. People live in warzones just after they've been warzones. This is even more true in urban warfare. This is why the civilized world tries very hard to avoid using landmines in war, and why there's so much effort into preventing civilian casualties with unexploded munitions like cluster bombs, for example.
There is an argument to be made on whether or not the risk of collateral damage is justified, it's impossible to make war completely "safe", of course, but with DU the evidence is stacking up that the collateral damage is extreme and probably not a good tradeoff.
