It seems at last that cooler heads have prevailed and hopefully we may have a (relatively) peaceful resolution of the chemical weapons issue.

Am I alone in thinking that any attack on their storage sites risked causing a massive release of these deadly agents?

That had crossed my mind, but maybe they go after the delivery and firing mechanisms rather than the chemicals.
If however they did go after the chemicals I wonder if a high intensity surgical strike with modern/specialist weapons woudl vapourise the chemicals rather than just distributing them???

I'd wondered that, but if a missile failed to explode, might there be a risk of the chemicals leaking out?
