A significant achievement of the human race: It succeeded in banning chemical weapons.

40. Straw man, and you know it.

The Chemical Weapons Convention does not sanction retaliatory military strikes in violation of international law as means of 'enforcement'.

We are not even party to several arms control efforts. Where is your concern over our use of Willie Pete? Where is your concern for our use of depleted uranium. More so, where is your concern for our continued refusal to join the convention on the banning of land mines?

Members lobby against us and attempt to pressure us politically and diplomatically to alter our stances on land mines. By yours and others twisted attempts at logic on this, then other countries may choose to attack us for our use of them. After all, the international community must enforce their arms conventions and treaties right?
