"Is there one single country in the whole world that does not have tear gas?"
So what - does that in any way excuse its use by Britain or America?
You even gave your blessing that it should be sold to Assad - please tell me that this wasn't your suggestion and that Jack Straw said it first!!
You haven't even bothered to comment on the listed effects of tear gas - does that mean that you deny them, you accept them, you don't give a toss either way what effect shit has on people's lives or health?
You described the stuff as "ubiquitous" now you are silent about its effects other than to claim "everybody does it".
Is that fact that most countries persecute and neglect Travellers an argument for Britain or Ireland continuing to do the same (which they both do)   
What's my point? I really don't have to make it - you are doing it perfectly for me.
You have defended every war crime, atrocity or act of humanity by Britain, Israel and America at one time or another on this thread - every single one that has been discussed.
It seems that war crimes and acts of inhumanity cease to be such when our 'chosen nations' do them.
It is one thing for us to throw up our hands in despair at our politicians and claim that what we think won't make a difference - we've all done that.
But it's quite another to lie, distort and misrepresent the facts in defence of acts of inhumanity as you have persistently done - added to which you never fail to back these defences with accusations of "liar", "leftie" "naive"... and other such shit.
You seem to have made it your life's work to support the worst aspects of humanity.
You are truely one of the most evil persons I have ever encountered.
I don't suppose you are going to give us an explanation of why you claimed tear gas to be ubiquitous - a lie to defend the West having and using it regularly or simply self-imposed ignorance _ I won't bother my arse waiting for an answer
