If we're not going to let developing nations have WMD...
Then we need to make sure that NO Nation can have WMD.

Maybe we need to form a Global Task Force dedicated to the Destruction of ALL WMD EVERYWHERE, have the power to Sanction Countries that continue to develop WMD or refuse to destroy them, and maybe we should go as far as destroying instructions on how to make them too. A Manual on how to make a Nuclear Device would be enough to get you in trouble with this Task Force that I am proposing.

They serve no purpose rather than causing terror and death on a massive scale.

Should we destroy all Biological, Nuclear, and Chemical Weapons?

Your Thoughts?

1. Absolutely, and for years we were headed in that direction.
Can hardly blame small countries for wanting them, since we have them and thus has absolute power over them.

2. Remedy would be economic aid for development and promise
to aid their defense if attacked by a third country (even an ally).

4. "Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction."
See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction.

6. If Bushco had their way...
the US and Israel would be the ONLY nations that could possess ANY weapons.
