Come on people. this ban on biologicalweapons has to be removed. The smaller nations won't be able to defend themselves from the more economicly powerful nations. As long as they don't test or attack civillians everything will be fine. Most of the nations in war anyway won't use them because other nations have radition and biological protection suits. So thre wouldn't be as much harm done either way. I will need help to get the passed into voting

So as long as the nations with bio weapons dont test them in any way or use them on civilians, it's ok? And if all nations going to war have protective suits, what good are they?

Bioweapons should stay banned. They are an abomination and can cause a destruction which lasts much longer than the normal kind of weapon.

Chumba agrees with the apointed member of Catholic Europe. There is no need for Bio-weapons within this world. They continue to cause damage long after any war has finished.

We strongly disagree with any use, or creation of the weapon.

Bio weapons should be allowed to be part of nations self deffence plans...especially those of us without the means of conventional resistance to the superpowers of the world.
This ban is just a case of the big guys keeping the little guys under heel. The ban should be abolished so that the smaller nations can defend their own vital national intests if threatened. They are a "last resort" weapon and so should be available to ALL should it ever come to that.
You guys get nukes...we have no deffence against that. Lift the ban...at least then they can be controlled and moitored rather than forcing we smaller nations to take our defence programs underground.


Lift the ban.

The ban needs to be lifted. The weaker nations need them if they go into war and need a good offensive attack.


I am all for the lifting of this ban.
