Weapons of mass destruction, of course, have not been found. I gather they have been reduced to an anthrax medium which was probably thrown down a drain in an environmentally unfriendly moment. We must bring pressure to bear on the US to resurrect the verification of the 1972 UN convention for biological weapons and toxins. Ireland has put in terrific work in the past and our delegation to the UN in Geneva is working on it again. However, we must make the US understand that it is included in the world order, not outside it. If we are its friend, as we are said to be, we must work to ensure this is the case.
