but use against civilian populations was banned by the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) in 1980.[citation needed] Protocol III of the CCW restricts the use of all incendiary weapons, but a number of states have not acceded to all of the protocols of the CCW. It is illegal for private citizens to create homemade napalm under these same laws.[citation needed] According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), states are considered a party to the convention, which entered into force as international law in December 1983, if they ratify at least two of the five protocols. The United States, for example, is a party to the CCW but did not sign protocol III.[17]

If you're so keen to blow everything up - would you be the one to push the button? and if you said yes... do you think you could live with that?
That was pretty damn big. At first it looked like it was close by, but the amount of time it took for the sound waves to travel indicated that it was pretty far away..
i wanted the job of pushing the button...can we take turns?..
