Ratify the Chemical Weapons Treaty http://wp2.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/1997-04/06/110L-040697-idx.html By William S. Cohen; The Washington Post - page C07 Sunday, April 6, 1997 "A paradox of the new strategic environment is that American military superiority actually increases the threat of chemical attacks against us by creating incentives for adversaries to challenge us not directly but asymmetrically through non-conventional means. Dealing with this threat requires a coherent national response involving: active and passive defenses; continued efforts to limit the spread of chemical weapons technology; improved intelligence collection and threat analysis; well-coordinated civil defense capabilities and an international standard barring the production and possession of chemical weapons. Central to this response is the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC)."
