| Message | This truly weakens our country. Biological and chemical weapons are simply that, weapons. Dumb explosives in cities are much wider in effect than a concentrated dropping of chlorine dioxide on enemy positions, and the primary reasonry of these weapons is to inhibit movement, not blow flesh to pieces. These weapons are much more humane than conventional weapons, more effective, have the capacity to harm fewer civilians, and should be left as an excellent option in times of conflict. Biological weapons are, however, much more dangerous. We do not support the active use of them, but eliminating them is not worth losing chemical weapons over. |
