Just a question.

Biological Weapons:
Russia has them, United States studies some substances, North Korea and Syria are suspected to have them.

Chemical Weapons:
Russia and the United States have them, India, South Korea and Syria are suspected to have nerve agents. It has been reported that Al Qaeda has tried to make various chemical weapons (no suprise).

Nuclear Weapons:
Russia, United States and North Korea have them, Pakistan, India and Israel all may have nuclear weapons.

Radiological Weapons:
Nearly every country has the materials to make them.

-----------------

I suppose that answers your question.

You can also find more information here that lists countries that are pursuing or capable of acquiring weapons of mass destruction.

That actually doesnt answer my question.

Why is America allowed to have them?

I dont want a list of the kinds and who does have them. Why can America have them. Whats the point of having them? Scare tactics is all it is.

Yes, Lots of countries have them, but aside from Iraq, Iran etc. the U.S.A. is the most likely country to actually use them in a large scale account.

And if they arnt likely to use them, whats the point of even having them? Shelf decorations?

I think it does answer your original question. You asked: "why is America allowed to have WMD but nobody else" I clearly pointed out America is not the only country with weapons of mass destruction. So when you said "but nobody else" you were wrong.

Whats the point of having them? Scare tactics is all it is.

Er... if you're going to answer your own questions then what is the point of asking them?

I would rather have USA have nukes than a country like Iraq.. Well, pre-occupation Iraq, lol.

USA would definitely not use it unless somebody else is dumb enough to launch one at them. And I am happy they have them, because anything on American soil will factor Canada too.. So if nobody messes with the States, nobody will mess with Canada.

Iraq doesn't actually count as anyone else you might be to young to remember when Saddam took over kuwait and used his WMD on his own people. When we stomped him the first time after he did that with his WMD he signed a no WMD peace accord and then he fell back on it after kicking UN inspector's out of IRAQ and it was just a matter of time that this was coming.. Americans don't care if France or Italy or any of the people in the UN have WMD but saddam might have sold them to terrorists but since we stopped it before it happened who knows...... And Joeiss I agree Canada is part of N.America and I know that if they were attacked the US would run to defend them with the Canadian troops, I know 44 people from the CAN. INF because they trained with us during HELO ops down at fort hood.. I'd be glad to serve with any of them.. ANd the majority of the ones I met supported the US's decision to invade Iraq so I guess not all Canuks are bad j/k

That still didnt really answer why America can have them.

Yes, i understand Iraq and saddam used them, but thats not what i asked.

And i do remember the thing you talked about, im 17 you know.

And what, you do think canadians are bad?

You said i guess they arnt, then put a "j/k" so you do think we are all bad then?

EDIT: I even said aside from Iraq, and you posted a reply about how Saddam used them.

[Ace195]

If you notice Typhoid the only country that we stopped from having nuclear devices aside from terroist havens IE Iran ect. is Iraq.. We havent' stopped N. Korea or anything we've done peace talks and whatnot but we never said hey NO and then smacked their hand so I don't get what you mean otherwise if not Iraq we do have a treaty with the rest of the UN to get rid of WMD for the betterment of the world and if you check since the end of the cold war we have been doing just that getting rid of nuclear missles..

You're the type of guy that likes a lacking police force, don't you?

"I just don't feel safe anymore, Jack... I mean, the police have guns, but they won't let us crooks have them. What makes those police officers think they're allowed to have them?"

It's all about intent, boy. That and the fact that the US made them first.

So are you comparing America to the police force of the world then?

And when did i say that i want any country to have WMD? I dont want any country to have them, they are pointless IMO.

And Ace, i never said they stopped any other country, i never said Saddam never used WMD, i never said anything of the sort.

All your saying is saddam has(had) them, other countries have them. Well, true, yes they do. Good for you, you answered a question nobody asked.

But the fact remains, i havent really got a straight answer yet. And frankly, im surprised the Strangler hasnt shown up yet.

NHF though.
