WMD my arse
The UN is fugging stupid and your clutching at straws using that argument.
The Yanks wouldn't have used the stuff in Vietnam... and the NZ govt wouldn't have allowed Dow Elanco's NZ subsidiary to supply the two base chemicals of agent orange( 2,4,5-t & 2,4-d ) for use in Vietnam if the long term effects of it were known back then.
And it's not as though it wasn't used here and in other countries either, watermelon loads of it was used in agriculture and forestry right up until the late 1980s when 2,4,5-t was banned in NZ.
But you know what they say... "ignorance is no excuse" So I think NZ should be punished for it's crimes by being kicked out of the UN.
Then we could join something useful, like the Mickey Mouse Club.
