I am really disgusted at any world leader, NATO member or Middle Eastern country that refuses to make public statements regarding the use of a weapon of mass destruction like sarin gas.
It concerns me with the ambivalence of the people living in Europe or the Middle East regarding this serious situation.
Gas poisoning is one of the most insidious weapons of war, silently used with tremendous destructive power to civilians, including women and children. It is used to kill everything it comes in contact with by paralyzing the nervous system.
That it has been stockpiled by some nations reveals their intentions to use it, despite it being outlawed after World War I. This should be enough to scare the world to condemn all countries that have it in their war arsenals and treat them appropriately.
This is extremely dangerous and of interest to everyone.
