Top 40 Myths (or lies) about War and Terrorism

[Sandman]

You forgot the most pernicious lie: the threat of chemical and biological weapons. Stuff like 'a suitcase full of sarin could kill London', or 'a vial of anthrax could kill 800 000 people' and so on.

I am quite confident that I could kill a million people with my kitchen utensils, if they were all to stand in line and not fight back. Hence my kitchen is a weapons lab.

It is a lie, and you've been well and truly duped.

It's not stuff I can make in my kitchen, it's the stuff in the kitchen. I could probably slit several thousand throats with the sharp objects, bash tens of thousands of heads with pots and pans, drown people in the sink etc.

Obviously, of course, if you are very vague, I have to interpret things as I chose.

Don't forget the three postal workers. A tragedy, but nothing to suggest the term 'mass destruction' is anything other than misleading. Good old fashioned letter bombs would have had the same effect. And let's not forget the Washington snipers, killed more people and casued at least as much chaos, helped in no small part by the media in both cases.

Economic disruption? Please. How petty can you get, claiming that that is equivalent to 'mass destruction'? Using this definition, fraudulent business practices and militant trade unions are also WMDs.

It's no worse than playing down the threat such weapons represent solely for the sake of being an arse. When you are discussing the value of NBC weaponry the proper venue isn't military (Their sole purpose here is to keep the other side from using them.) which you seem to be focusing on but political.

[reds4ever]

Has anyone who was pro-war actually provided a rebuttle to these questions? That fact alone speaks volumes

I'm playing down the threat of such weapon not because I'm an arse, but because they are, at best, merely equivalent to 'conventional' weapons, and usually a lot less effective.

The military effectiveness of BC weapons (nukes are completely different) is grossly overstated, which is where their political power comes from, and how the 'danger' of such weapons was used to trick people into accepting war.
