The United States and 135 other countries have signed and ratified a treaty called the Chemical Weapons Convention and Weapons of Mass Destruction to include Nuclear Weapons. Now Congress and the United States Public are debating supporting these treaties. The attitude is I did not sign it therefore I am not responsible for the enforcement. Got news for people it does not matter who signed it in the name of the United States. What matters here is will you enforce it? If so who will assist you? You do have 135 other countries to talk to.
If you fall to the side of not enforcing the treaty think about this. All it would take to wipe out any U.S. city is a crop duster loaded with 5 gallons of Sarin gas. After which you could kiss that population good bye. Just make sure you have a gas mask on before you kiss anyone. If more is used then it will kill not only the citizens but also get into the water supply where you will never get it out. Sarin is water soluable and vaporization capable. It can be imported without being detected except with very expensive chemical detectors. It can be made locally without the need to import it.
- Following release of sarin into the air, people can be exposed through skin contact or eye contact. They also can be exposed by breathing air that contains sarin.
- Sarin mixes easily with water. Following release of sarin into water, people can be exposed by touching or drinking water that contains sarin.
- Following contamination of food with sarin, people can be exposed by eating the contaminated food.
- A person’s clothing can release sarin after it has come in contact with sarin vapor, which can lead to exposure of other people.
- Because sarin vapor is heavier than air, it will sink to low-lying areas and create a greater exposure hazard there.
If you fall to the side of enforcing the treaty think about this. Who appointed the United States of America to be the world's police force? Do we do the dirty deed for any oppressed citizen just because we can? Or do we allow bullies to run the world because we are broke? Is this a political grab? or Is this a stunt to prove we can?
My opinion is just that MY OPINION. Remember what ASSUME means before showing yours.
