Still frothing with outrage

Yes, I'm still frothing with outrage over the article below. There are people on nz.politics trying to draw a distinction between "bad" gases that that Evil Monster Saddam uses, and the "nonlethal" ones the US plans to use - you know, the ones that killed 128 people in Moscow last year. The logical conclusion of this is that Saddam is a monster because he killed a higher percentage of his victims than the US Army intends to. Either that, or its American Exceptionalism again.

Issues of morality and hypocrisy aside, this isn't exactly going to encourage Saddam to continue disarming. And I can think of no better way to ensure that he uses any WMDs he may have stashed away than to use them on him first.
