Weapons of mass destruction are devastation of our
planet. They are found to be: a) biological, chemical, radiological, and
nuclear weapons. The awareness of WMD is about how bad they might be in the
future. WMD are an important issue today.
The fear is the attack between nuclear countries. WMD weapons are said
to be horrendous. A small number of countries produce and carry them. The
negative view is that today are seen a lot of states to have the skills and
materials to produce WMD than ever before. People agree over the powerful destruction
of nuclear war. They saw the bombings of
two towns called Hiroshima and Nagasaki, by the U.S.A and that was in 1945. There are questions regarding the safety of
our planet.
WMD carry out
costs by bringing reciprocal dissatisfaction among countries. Researchers see
such war extremely costly and consequently keep themselves out of it. Terrorist
groups are more likely to carry secretly WMD. Iran is part of two nations which
most threaten United States security as a nation, along with and North Korea. I
based this statement on the premise that these two nations are developing
"weapons of mass destruction," specifically, nuclear arms. Iran is an
unresolved piece of the international security puzzle. In recent years, the
international buzz regarding nuclear weapons has revolved around North Korea
and Iran, two nations who are suspected of creating nuclear power plants and
who the U.S. is strongly against acquiring nuclear weapons. The U.S., despite
controlling the second-largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world
greatly wants to limit the ability of other nations to manufacture and sell
their own nuclear weapons. But these nations, especially Iran, have valid
reasons for desiring nuclear projects.
The U.S. specifically wants to limit Iran's nuclear
capabilities, among other reasons, because Iran's government has ties to
organizations that the U.S. government has deemed terrorist, like Hamas and
Hezbollah. However, many nations that the U.S. does not object to the nuclear
arsenals of, like former Soviet republics, have similar weak (or stronger) ties
to organizations that the U.S. classifies as "terrorist."
It is, of course, in the U.S.'s interest to be able to
account for all nuclear weapons which exist in the world-but this aim can be
achieved without limiting the sovereignty of other nations, as the U.S. is
currently trying to do by limiting nuclear proliferation among other states.
Iran has several reasons for desiring nuclear
capabilities. Aside from the hypocrisy of the U.S. position, there is a very
real threat to developing nations by the U.S. which was demonstrated with the
Iraq war.
Iran is a greedy country waiting to get the technology
to develop its Nuclear program and with recent development and help by other
countries such as China, North Korea, Russia, and Kazakhstan, it leaves the
west worried. CIA director, Robert Gates, testified that Iran was seeking a
Nuclear bomb and could have one by the year 2000 if the West does not prevent
it. (Washington Post; NOV. 17, 1992). Since 1991 Iran has sought out the buy
nuclear reactors to help it learn the technology such as in 1992 when it
purchased reactors from former Soviet republics and China.
Pakistan and India are part of nine nuclear powers of
South Asia. Pakistan has been a great concern over its security. A great
example is the death of Usama bin Laden in May of 2001 demonstrating obviously
the sympathies Pakistan shows toward group of terrorists that target the U.S.A.
Religious and ethnic motivation is what made terrorists produce, trade and
carry WMD by disregarding the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT). Syria
seems to enjoy WMD as well.
Giving to the 9/11 commission report, “the September
11, 2001, was a day of unprecedented shock and suffering in the history of the
United States. The nation was unprepared. How did this happen, and how can we
avoid such tragedy again? A challenge is to understand and preventing
interaction between terrorists. Terrorism
grows inside nations. Very significant is exploring the relationship between
them. I come up with the question, “Is
it necessary to understand whether the future of WMD by terrorists will be uncontrolled?
