The timeline of WMD use on this website, is similar to the majority of such timelines available through American run websites, in that it is horribly slanted. In specific, the U.S. application of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (the most toxic synthetic chemical in existence according to the WHO) in large quantities during the war in Indochina is not mentioned, despite the fact that it killed over a million people, ranking one of the worst WMD uses of all time. The defoliants used in Vietnam were also termed illegal by the Chemical Weapons Convention, yet their use is not on your timeline, nor is the widespread use of other indescriminate weapons such as napalm and cluster bombs, both of which have been termed WMD.
