A Look at the Massive Ship Will Destroy Syria’s Chemical Weapons

I think disposing of the chemical weapons at sea is a very good idea for a number of reasons, first of course is the safety doing it at sea will provide and even though the US Navy already has a good plan in case there is a spill of some kind, just doing at sea has a major safety benefit in the fact  if there is a inadvertent release if the ship was to be in the India Ocean, which is the most likely place, the ship will be so far from shore that it would be totally impossible to affect populated areas.

A second benefit of doing it out at sea is security, if any terrorist group has plans to try and steal the weapons it will be impossible out at sea. I promise you the US Navy will have this disposal ship surrounded by warships fully armed and ready to fight any threat that would develop out at sea.

Now the only thing is the United States needs to ensure full transparency in the destruction of these weapons, there can never be any thought in the collective minds of the world that the United States isn't keeping or hiding any of the chemical weapons, that every ounce of the chemicals are being destroyed.

I just pray that this will be the last the world ever has to deal with chemical weapons, however I am afraid that as long as their are leaders in this world who cares for their own place of power and willing to use any method possible to keep themselves in power we will always be dealing with weapons of mass destruction.
