Interesting how the left was crying over the dangers of WMD's to the environment on European soil when Reagan wanted to deploy the Minutement there during the eighties.

No, no, no! The point is they were concerned about the ENVIRONMENT being harmed right here in the environmentalists own backyard by the presence of chemical weapons, and that's why they were condemned.

The stockpiles of chemical weapons in Iraq were only used to kill PEOPLE (dark skinned Iraqi people, at that) and only useless desert sand would be affected, not precious wetlands or rainforests.

It's all about priorities.
