>>> I don't consider your question about chemical and biological weapons to be relevant. It assumes that the only possible source for chemical and biological weapons is from pre-1991.<<<

The weapons inspection team left in 1998. And how can you ignore such an important question?

I'll accept the possibility that there's a small amount of CW and BW, but that on a comparative scale is likely insignificant--especially when compared to the effects that a war of mass destruction would have, instability to the region as a whole and breeding a condition that becomes primetime for terrorists recruiting terrorists.

I guess it's also noteworthy that the US is not engaged in spitting contests with nations who've traditionally been allied with us in so many ways.

Shouldn't overall harm reduction be the guiding force here?
