Thank you for those links.
In general, there appears to be substantial circumstantial evidence that both parties used gas (although I have not read the UN’s recent report).

There was no doubt a John Wayne western years ago in which he observed someone pull out a knife in a fistfight and he shot the knife out of the user’s hand with the line, “Now, now, let’s keep it fair”. That would be the “American” way.

On the other hand, if Wayne’s character believed both of the combatants were bad guys it seems likely he would not have interfered in the fight at all. If, however, both of the combatants produced weapons that could obliterate the entire town, there is no doubt he would have quickly proceeded to neutralize both parties.

The point here? I wonder if O watched any John Wayne westerns while he was growing up?
