Message | This bill maintains our independent nuclear deterrent but outlaws the use of chemical or biological weapons except for research purposes, as we find them abhorrent. The idea is that this bill will allow us to keep the moral highground as far as it is possible to in war, while sending the message to any would-be attackers that we are still ready to defend ourselves if necessary. |
Date | 02:25:51, October 14, 2007 CET | From | Al'Badara Republican Party | To | Debating the WMD Policy 2470 |
Message | We in the AAP believe that there should be a treaty in order that prevents the use or acquiring biological or chemical weapons due to the devastating effects it has to the victims, the damages or the same, if not worse for the victims and could even result in a backfiring to a power that uses these sort of weapons or an innocent third party (if they're stored in unsafe conditions or weather conditions). |
