Interesting but invalid....

1- Chemical weapons were used by the US in Vietnam in the 60's (long before saddam)

The rather big difference being that the US was at war with Vietnam whereas Saddam has used them against his own people.

2- the US is the only country that ever used Nukes (they are not moslems)

Yes, because they were the first country to have them. They ended a WORLD WAR.

3- the US is the only country today that is overtly threatening the use of nukes against Iran (not the moslems who do not have any).

Prove this please - all you have to do is provide a web address to a respectable news agency covering this story. Given the significance of this claim it will be of interest to everybody on both sides of this debate.

P.S. Pakistan has a nuclear capacity so it is untrue that Moslems do not 'have any'.
