We also do not believe that nuclear weapons bring power. From the militaristic side, if you take all the nuclear weapons out of the nuclear weapons states, it doesn't change their power. They would be more secure. Or, if you give nuclear weapons to a country, you have not given it more strength because the deterrent function of nuclear weapons has been undermined in the past couple of decades. We could have done it.
Chemicals are, of course, very easy to get.
But because of our ideological beliefs, we didn't. I can assure you that even if the capability is available for those types of defensive chemical weapons, Iran is not going to pursue construction or manufacture of them. Building the same types of weapons of mass destruction like the Iraqis would not have necessarily stopped the Iraqis. Plus it was a violation of what we believed in. Most of our warriors were participating in the war voluntarily because of their beliefs.
