All this is true if it was not SADDAM HUSSEIN. However since it was Saddam military who used Chemicals Weapons for offensive purposes more than any other military in history then we simply cannot allow them to possess any type of Chemical weapons agents even for a small quantity even for a defensive purpose, because if they were still in power and the appropriate time would have come they would have produce these type of weapons at much larger scale for offensive purposes.
I'm not sure that was even a part of the ceasefire or resolutions.

But they could have produced them on a large scale anyway, regardless of whether they'd kept small amounts or not. When you're talking about trace amounts for testing and producing large amounts for offensive use, one has nothing to do with the other.
Like I said, I'd hate to see us push this point because it just isn't very strong. I think you'll find more military types agreeing with me on that.
