Global terroism and chemical weapons


Following the ‘Paris Attack’ the United Nations, UN, Security Council unanimously adopted by resolution a France-drafted document urging UN members to “take all necessary measures” in the fight against Islamic State, IS. The UN resolution 2249 also condemned the recent attacks in Sousse, Tunisia and Ankara, Turkey.

The UN Security Council called on member states to “eradicate the safe haven” IS and other militant groups had established over parts of Iraq and Syria. The document also stresses that nations should “redouble and co-ordinate their efforts to prevent and suppress terrorist attacks”. However, it does not invoke the UN’s chapter VII(8) which gives specific legal authorisation for the use of force. France and Russia argued that military action is justified because of the right of countries to defend themselves.

This UN resolution will precipitate the ascendency of terrorism and it will stimulate its aggressive serpentine spread to all nooks and crannies of our world. And sequel to the current desire for the world to come together to launch a singular arrowhead against terrorism and terrorists, it will definitely make these murderous irritants to resort to the use of chemical, radiological and biological weapons to perpetrate their heinous crimes against our world.

But how ready is America, Russia, France, Britain, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Kenya, Cameroon, Niger, Chad, Egypt, Mali, Ethiopia, South-Sudan, Yemen, Eritrea, Somalia etc to cut off the tentacles of biological, radiological and chemical weapons when unleashed on them by IS, Al Qaeda, Shite, Sunni, Tijaniya, Quadariya, Boko Haram, Al Shabah, Hizbollah terrorists groups?

It is obvious to our world that these terrorists groups have the capabilities to produce and unleash chemical weapons on nations, precipitating global genocide. We have seen the unleashing of chemical weapons in Japan, Iraq, Iran, and Kuwait, etc. Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Syria, etc, are listed by the CIA as supporters of terrorism and are believed to possess chemical, radiological and biological weapons.

Nuclear, chemical and biological agents, as we have seen, are inherently terrorising. They evoke moral dread and visceral revulsion out of proportion to their lethality. The government of any country attacked with such weapons would have difficulty controlling the anarchical entropy and apocalyptic confusion such will cause. Because chemical and biological weapons are silent killers, an attack could occur at any time without warning.

The United States Office of Technology Assessment claims that many of the components of these agents are widely sold for industrial purposes. For example, thiodiglycol, an immediate precursor to mustard agent, is used to make ink for ball point.

10 World Most Eloquent People

Image
Only the eloquent can adequately describe eloquence. It includes articulation, a mellifluous tone of voice and poise under pressure. To be eloquent is to speak well in a persuasive and deeply thoughtful way. Though it appears to come easily, eloquence does not often come naturally. The most talented speakers often have training in rhetoric and behavioral psychology. Here are 10 great examples of eloquent speakers who have made their mark on the world. 1. Martin Luther King, Jr “I Have a Dream” is perhaps the most powerful speech in American history. In poetic, unequivocal language, he explains how people can live up to their ideals for the sake of their children. 2. Abraham Lincoln In a speech only two minutes long, Lincoln explained the moral justification for the Civil War in his Gettysburg Address. 3. Winston Churchill In a few short years Churchill transformed himself from a burly, unemployed, failed novelist to a leader of the free world with ...
