“‘If you drop a conventional munition on a storage facility containing unknown chemical agents – and we don’t know exactly what is where in the Syrian arsenal – some of those agents will be neutralized and some will be spread,’ said Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, a nonprofit that focuses on all types of weaponry. ‘You are not going to destroy all of them.’ ‘It’s a classic case of the cure being worse than the disease,’ Kimball said. He said some of the suspected storage sites are in or near major Syrian cities like Damascus, Homs and Hama. Those cities have a combined population of well over 2 million people.”
