Let's assume you're right. How different is it, tho' if one condones such use of mustard gas laced with nerve agents, even if was made by Saddam w/o US assistance. It is very different. It's still bad so you still have something of a point but they are not the same thing. And the condoning isn't as bad if it just means looking the other way which is what we did. Note I am not sayingthat ignoring the use of chemical weapons was not wrong if that in fact did happen. Not am I asserting that the fact that we didn't do some other worse thing is a defense of what we did do. A thief isn't a murderer but the fact that a thief might not have killed is not a defense of his theft. Tim
