2) When they _are_ exposed, let them fight the fuck back. Rules of engagment are simple. When fired on, shoot to kill. If the shot comes from a building, take out the building. If from a crowd, well, do you best, but _get the shooter_.
Basically, what you're saying is that one armed person in a crowd of a hundred needs to be killed no matter what happens to the lives of the other 99? Give me a break, we're not living in the 1800's anymore, we want to STOP wars, not create them!
If the US were to offer Russia $3 billion (or whatever) in a one time take it or leave it for their entire chemical weapon stock, it might get the soviet shit off the market. The nuclear stuff is a little easier to store (I think) and it would be a harder sell.
You'll never see it happen. First of all, a lot of the chemical weapons in the former Soviet Union are probably not even owned by the government, some are probably owned by private individuals. Secondly, the former Soviet Union would never give up all their chem. weapons for the same reason, that the U.S.A would not give up theirs (they'd be left defenseless, or very open). Ryan A.
