Foreign Conflicts: Motion.
Bush has given us the litmus test by which he judges those states which are a danger to humanity – the possession of weapons of mass destruction, the manufacture of chemical and biological weapons, the training of terrorists and the export of terrorism, the defiling of the environment and possession and potential use of nuclear weapons. By these tests, his Administration and the sad record of American foreign policy score a full ten out of ten. The largest stocks of anthrax in the world are held by the United States, which manufactured in Maryland the very anthrax that it gave to Saddam Hussein. The current Administration has been openly gloating about the possession of new and terrible weapons like the microwave bomb and the MOAB which spreads inflammable fog over its target and then sets it alight to create an explosion as powerful as an atomic weapon. Does this remind Senators of anything – Blitzkrieg, Joseph Gobbels, total war? Is this beginning to ring a warning bell?
