Sarin gas is not a WMD.

Gas doesn’t destroy anything. It just kills people.

Heard that line of BS before.
From one troll named JohnGalt, a rather interestingly misnamed troll if ever there was one.
Besides, tell it to the soldiers in world war one.
International accord recognizes it as such because it does kill large numbers, that is the definition of “wmd”.

Weapons of Mass Destruction include Nuclear, Biological and Chemical, so yes, Sarin is a WMD.

“It just kills people”
http://www.britannica.com/technology/weapon-of-mass-destruction
“weapon with the capacity to inflict death and destruction on such a massive scale and so indiscriminately that its very presence in the hands of a hostile power can be considered a grievous threat. “

Gee, it says “death”, not just destruction.

It just kills people.

Ditto neutron bombs, weaponized anthrax, and VX, but I think they all count.

Chemical weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction. The commonly accepted definition of WMD is nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons.
