You may have the last word.

Thanks. That must be because you know you were mistaken.

Why are chemical weapons worse than conventional weapons?

I know, I know, on the surface it seems like a ridiculous question. I heard it asked on a radio talk show a few days ago. It was asked in an interesting way.

If you had to articulate and answer, how would you explain why chemical weapons are worse than conventional weapons.

FWIW: The answer given was something along the lines of, "Well, because everybody agrees they are." I don't believe that even begins to address the question.

Why are nuclear weapons worse than chemical weapons? If you had one iota of sense about which you speak....somebody might pay attention to you.

Personally, I love nuclear weapons.

I do not think chemical weapons are worse than conventional weapons. I have never heard of bombing victim's' loved ones saying oh thank god they were killed by conventional weapons instead of chemical weapons, nor do I think victims of chemical attack's loved ones are saying why couldn't they have been killed by conventional weapons instead of chemical weapons. I also do not think those who were severely burned or crippled by conventional weapons are thanking God that they were not burned or severely crippled with chemical weapons, nor do I think those who were severely burned or crippled by chemical weapons are wishing that they could have been burned or severely crippled by conventional weapons. It like morons who suggest that a murder, rape, robbery or some other crime involving a gun should somehow warrant a more harsher punishment than a murder, rape, robbery or some other crime involving some other weapon even though the end result is the same.
