Description[?]:
| In order to avoid potential massacres and crimes against humanity, restrictions must be made to the military, if only to ensure that no civilians and innocents are killed due to wars.

| Message | We aren't proposing to stop using nuclear weapons, we are just proposing to withdraw from this treaty, in order to be able to impose some restrictions on the military, for example (as we had already exemplified) not allowing the military to use chemical and biological weapons on civilian areas. That is our objective. |

| Message | While we understand the RWP view on this and what they want changed, we agree with the LP that we have must a tough miltiary stance. Nuclear weapons attacks on civilian areas are the last areas we would want to hit but we believe that we should have the opition if needed to. We would hope that the President at anytime during (hope we never have) a nuclear war not to use that opition unless drasticaly needed too. |

| Message | Also the one thing is that in warfare there is no such thing as civilian and non civilian areas, the enemy is a target they usually hide behind their civilians and use them as a human shield so it is either us or them that is all it comes down to. I'm sorry but war is a free for all, thats just the way it is. OOC: Even in real life situations civilian casualties with warfare is inevitable and a fact of war. Take Afghanistan for example, they use their people literally as human shield so when a British, Pakistani or American plane bombs the Taliban strongholds civilians also die because those twars use their own people as human shields to die with them. What makes it worse they use the fact that the west and Pakistan has been killing thier own people as propaganda to get more men to join the Taliban when in fact those wankers are the ones killing their own people. |

| Message | Even so, we shouldn't sacrifice everything to the war. If others start using nuclear bombs first, then we can use them, but using them on civillian areas will make us monsters, no matter what others do or say. But if we can't change opinions, then vote according to your conscience. |

| Message | Like I said, in warfare there is no such thing as civilian and non civilian zones but i am intrigued by the Christian Democrats vote, I would've thought that their moral values wouldn't allow them to kill one another. |
