	Weapons of mass destruction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Weapons of mass destruction can be high explosives or nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological weapons, but exclude the means of transporting or propelling the weapon where such means is a separable and divisible part of the weapon.
		Weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons, are rarely used because their use is essentially an "invitation" for a WMD retaliation, which in turn could escalate into a war so destructive it could easily destroy huge segments of the world's population.
		Weapons of mass destruction are used to justify the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes against "rogue states" thought to be in danger of possessing or developing them.

	Weapons of mass destruction - Gurupedia
		Weapons of mass destruction (WMD) are weapons designed to kill large numbers of people, usually civilians but also potentially military personnel.
		As mentioned above, weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons, are rarely used because their use is essentially an "invitation" for a WMD retaliation, which in turn could escalate into a war so destructive it could easily destroy huge segments of the world's population.
		Their destructiveness is a source of unease for many, and there are always fears that they could be used by a crazy or unstable leader.

	Iraq: Weapons of Mass Destruction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It is believed, however, that Iraq neither possesses a nuclear weapon nor is close to having one, in large measure due to the difficulty of producing or otherwise acquiring the necessary weapons-grade fissile material.
		However, UNSCOM reported that the destruction of about 2,000 unfilled munitions was uncertain, that the destruction by melting of 15,000 rockets was not verifiable, and that 500 mustard-filled shells remained unaccounted for.
		Canada is, therefore, aware from first-hand experience of the great lengths to which Iraq went to develop chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, as well as the extent of its efforts to hide them from inspectors.

	Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction
		The existence of non-state actors that function on a global scale, such as al-Qaeda, that may gain access to weapons of mass destruction significantly changes the habitual calculus of deterrence and arms control, particularly because for the terrorists neither regime survival nor the survival of a state is involved in their decision calculus.
		Defenses minimize the effects of the potential use of weapons of mass destruction and make the threat of their delivery by missile by rogue states or enemies with minimal delivery means less credible.
		The threat of weapons of mass destruction and their proliferation is a complicated matter that cannot be addressed with one simple approach, whether that approach is arms control or deterrence.

		This article describes the danger posed to America by terrorists using weapons of mass destruction, the capabilities of the Army Reserve to mitigate that danger, some inhibitors to the efforts of the Army Reserve, and ways they might be overcome.
		In addition to those needs, a domestic attack involving weapons of mass destruction will likely require someone to identify and restrict access to hazardous areas; as necessary and where possible, decontamination will be required to rid the area of weapon residue.

		A growing number of weapons experts, engineers, chemists, and other scientists said that the "germ trailers" trumpeted by the Americans are not at all what one would expect from a mobile weapons lab and that the units appear to be designed to produce hydrogen to fill artillery balloons, which is what Iraqi scientists have claimed.

		Canada supplied uranium for the US "Manhattan Project" that produced the world's first atomic bombs in 1945.

		If you want to find the "weapons of mass destruction" in the western world, look to Canada for much of the "nuclear gunpowder," and then look to the US and Britain for the bombs and the people who await the order to use them (some of whom are readers of this Daily Bible Study).

		Correspondents say that while the failure to discover such weapons may not matter to many Americans, in Europe - where many people strongly opposed the war - the issue is likely to become a political one.

		She said that "after a search that has consumed nearly two years and millions of dollars, and a war that has cost thousands of lives, no weapons of mass destruction have been found, nor has any evidence been uncovered that such weapons were moved to another country."
		With the weapons threat looming as the motivating factor, the war began on March 19, 2003.

		Aberdeen, MD The thirteen self-declared "citizen weapons inspectors" marching down a rain-swept road just outside Baltimore knew they weren't going to be allowed inside the US military's Aberdeen Proving Ground.
		They included members of Parliament from Britain, Canada, Italy and Denmark, and a few American citizens, and claimed to have the backing of another 25,000 "honorary inspectors" who had sent messages of support via the group's website.
		Edward Hammond, director of the Sunshine Project --an Austin, Texas-based nonprofit that seeks to bring facts about biological weapons to light --said UN inspections would in fact be far preferable to a baker's dozen of private citizens knocking futilely on the military's door.

		It was only in the context of repeated Iraqi defiance and weak support for the United States at the UN that senior Clinton administration officials finally began to explain the nature of the dangers posed by Iraq's unconventional agents.
		On November 11, while marking Veteran's day at Arlington cemetery, Clinton affirmed, "Saddam's efforts to rebuild his weapons of mass destruction and his interference with the UN inspectors who are keeping him from doing so are unacceptable." Yet the problem was not just Iraqi efforts to rebuild such weapons.
		During the 1990-91 Gulf crisis, the distinguished strategist, the late Professor Albert Wohlstetter, had maintained that it was impossible to eliminate Saddam's weapons of mass destruction without eliminating Saddam himself.
