Again, it only takes a few 55 gallon drums of ricin or mustard gas to kill hundreds of thousands of people. spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk It's pretty awful stuff, but not a really effective killer. The Germans shot TONS of it at the Brits in WWI, but only managed to kill about 4000 of them with it in four years of trying. Of course, the Germans weren't the only ones using gas: "In 1918 a German corporal by the name of Adolf Hitler was temporarily blinded by a British gas attack in Flanders. Having suffered the agonies of gas first hand, his fear of the weapon would prevent him from deploying it as a tactical weapon on the battlefields of the Second World War." The idea that Saddam would threaten us here in the USA with mustard gas is only good for a laugh, or perhaps a smirk. The whole "WMD" argument is kind of bogus - the only REAL WMD are nuclear weapons, and we and Russia have the most, by a tremendous margin. Israel is the fourth largest owner of WMD's worldwide, with China in the third spot. The Brits, the French, India and Pakistan trail Israel.
