September 24, 200421 yr Author Soman is spelled Somar in one place. Given that its a science class paper, you might weight technological aspects higher than historical. ex. the technical difficulties involved in making anthrax a viable weapon due to its tendency to clump and cake up. The machining technology needed to grind it to fine grane aerosol size could probably be a short paper in it own right. In the 60's the Navy had some 1st generation uniary nerve gas bombs known as "Wet eye" that ultimately caused storage problems when they started to leak. Long term effective seals have been an engineering issue for millenia, there's still no 100% answer - plumbers make a good living off leaks Good effort. 570203[/snapback] I knew that I spelled that wrong somewhere. I got an A for it though still. In response about the history, I think the history is very important in determining how these weapons came to be. And for Anthrax, I know it is tough, but it was used as a biological weapon after Sept. 11th and thus showing its a viable weapon.
