But, if we gag the inner cynic in me, it bears noting that there's a moral / ethical reason to attack someone who gasses civilians, in
certain ethical frameworks (where for example, chemical weapons are qualitatively different than other modes of attacking civilians).
Discussions of the legal, military and
ethical implications of these weapons among government and independent experts in the
framework of the Convention on
Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) have shown that there is broad agreement that human control over the critical functions of weapon systems must be retained.
