Why do you say that I don't like Americans

There are things about America that I do not like, but overall I would say they are no worse, or better, than any other nation.
I would agree that it is a chemical weapon that is intended to be offensive to trees (and consequently,to your sensibilities).
I think that calling it an offensive weapon in a thread about nerve agents (as seen on TV) is bordering on the tenuous, however we are each entitled to our opinions.
I am not sure about the last bit of your post?
For example, I certainly wouldn't say the America as a nation is no better or worse than Syria in the context of this thread. You may think otherwise.

It seems to me me to be significant whether the country in question is prepared to use it in an initial strike.
