"I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes. The moral affect should be good.. and it would spread a lively terror..

But we didn't stop with Iran. We did the same for Israel and Egypt, Saudi Arabia and for Iraq. In fact we hold the world's record for selling advanced military hardware to anyone who will pay for them. To get WMD from the U.S. show us the green. That has been the policy of the U.S. government for years and we hold the record for being most willing to sell these weapons to oppressive dictators.

And Not to be outdone by Bush, Clinton did his share of killing by bombing Iraq, the Sudan and Kosovo and continued with massive arms sales to oppressive regimes. There is no one political party or organization with a monopoly on killing.
