"bearing in mind that the US has, by far and away, the biggest stock of WMDs on earth,"

Incorrect Russia has at least 50% more than the US.

MGOH, depending on which set of figures you use, throughout the reign of Saddam Hussein in Iraq (1978/9 to 2003) on average his regime killed somewhere between 154 and 282 people every day.

Those figures will mean nothing to the old school dyed in the wool far left socialists (a-la Harold Pinter), who froth at the mouth at the evils of the US and decry the hundreds of thousands killed by these wicked democratic capitalist regimes, while completely ignoring and denying the millions killed by socialist communism.
