What does the US have against Chemical Weapons anyway?

Have they seen what goes into food these days? How about cigarette smoke? Car exaust? Smoke stack exaust?

If a dictator wanted to use chemical weapons, he could easily make a new one with the chemicals that make up cigarette smoke, car exhaust, and smoke stack emissions. Oh, and lets not forget topping the tank off with a wide plethora of preservatives... to keep the toxic brew nice and fresh.

No country could say a fucking thing about it either - The weapon is made up of nothing more then what they allow their own civilians to be exposed to, daily, for their entire lives.

Cruel and unusual way to kill people? Kills non-combatants indiscriminately?

Or is it because it's easier and cheaper for third world countries to acquire and employ?

Like I said...... a good question!
