Ebbie, Look at the IRA, in 500 years the British could not disarm them, why? (a much smaller population and landmass than Iraq) You could also look into US history, something tells me it was almost similar in 1776. :) The British had the same trouble in Afghanistan

The Italian example I used was from personal knowledge, related to the experiences of some of the officers involved in the collection of these weapons during WW2. You might find some documented evidence of what I say, but I do not have any source to direct you too.

CarolC, I am not arguing with you, what you are saying is not the issue. The fact remains Saddams supply was not limited to those chemicals. Let me give you a reference to a modern day arms smuggling problem to illustrate how easy it is to obtain weapons.
