Context provided by the artist: 'The glib way "chemical weapons" are referred to on TV makes one think of bunsen burners in a lab at school. The hideous reality of chemicals like Sarin, Tabun, VX [the most toxic nerve agent every created], and mustard gas lies in the hands of Bashar al-Assad. Weep for Syria. Right now there is a sense that President al-Assad is about to use these deadly chemical weapons on his own people (or neighbouring countries), or the United States may make a pre-emptive strike of some kind to prevent him doing so. Either way, the risks are immense.' Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
