Ah, but of course you have plenty of chemical weapons. We just let you make them yourselves.

See? This is the attitude that bothers me. ``We ... let you'', as if it the the US's decision as to whether or not other countries are acceptable.

And, as to your other point about the rest of the world, the Iraq that exists today certainly didn't sign that treaty. In addition, ``the world'' as a whole is best defined as the UN, which is,as yet, undecided on any action, and GWB has stated flat out that he has no interest in what the UN decides.
