23. Napalm is an incendiary chemical weapon banned by UN....
Edited on Sun Aug-10-03 12:15 AM by amen1234
(link) UN Article III bans incendiary chemical weapons...
except under special military circumstances, but at all time prohibits the use of incendiary chemical weapons against civilians...

Napalm is an incendiary chemical weapon...it is the ignition of a chemical burning of plastics, flinging an explosion of hot flaming plastics everywhere, igniting everything...including human beings...it is almost impossible to get the hot burning plastics off or out-of human skin...it's a horrible, painful, and prolonged death


Article III
Opened for signature at New York: 10 April 1981
Entered into force: 2 December 1983

(this really makes you realize why bush* wants to eliminate the UN, afterall, bush* violates UN rules and regs so often...it would be easier for bush* to just eliminate the UN and avoid prosecution by for war crimes...)...

here's a link to the USA acceptance of UN rules and regs
