If you dump 18 million gallons of the most toxic chemicals known to man on people and their farmland, it is hard to say you meant no harm. <Even though Agent Orange has been found to have some harmful side effects>

Hi Nadine, when you get right down to it in technical terms, every bomb is effectively a chemical weapon. I don't claim to be a weapons expert at all but I would assume that Agent Orange would be considered a CW and not a conventional one?? That was Dr Id's original point. My point was in response to Ish using anecdotal evidence (his coffee buddy) to back his argument when GST has listed research data proving the toxicity to humans of the said chemical. I'll take a sample of many thousands over a sample of one. <<(& I have no clue of just sound the data is or how much exposure is required)>> It's all to easy to fob off any data that disproves your argument. I hope you can be just as skeptical about any data that proves your point also......"fair and balanced" as it were ;-) MON.
