For those of you who have never heard of Mustard Gas and it's horrific effects on the human body, read any good medical history of WWI or talk to someone who had a grandfather who suffered from its effects after that war.
The ONLY country -so far as I have been able to determine- to use Mustard Gas since WWI is Iraq under Saddam Hussein, who used it on the Kurds.
In case there is anyone on the Forum who doesn't know the effects of Mustard Gas, I'll try to describe what it does. Mustard Gas causes huge blisters to form wherever it touches. These are very painful and slow to heal, leaving the victim open to secondary infection. The real pain comes when the stuff gets into the lungs; the same blisters with the pain magnified a hundredfold. If the victim lives, it is with a lifetime of pain and debilitation.
In WWI, Mustard Gas was used against troops in the trenches. Saddam Hussein used it against women and children.
By comparison, Sarin and VX are humane. They at least kill quickly.
Did I mention that Mustard Gas victims are also at increased risk for cancer if they survive the initial attack?
I have seen posts where the poster called this war to free the Iraqi people from Saddam Husseins regiem "immoral".
I can only say that I cannot concieve of a moral code that would allow a monster like Saddam Hussein to remain in power.
