Weapons of Mass Destruction

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that there have been many efforts to stop the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, with many of leaders of countries signing several different treaties, but nothing can stop the production of such destructive weapons. The author points out that the majority of the nations and organizations, such as our allies, rogue nations, and terrorist groups, have some sort of a weapon of mass destruction. The paper stresses that, as destructive as chemical weapons are, far bigger threats to international security are biological weapons, which, if not decreased, can cause more causalities than chemical weapons.

From the Paper:

"The variations of the different types of chemical weapons hurt a nation's chances of a defense or readiness against a chemical weapon because chemical weapons are hard to stop spreading. As mentioned by the government document, chemical weapons have been used before when "Chlorine gas and mustard gas were widely used during World War I." Many countries can produce chemical weapons on a mass scale and have the resources that are necessary to produce the chemical weapons. A nation's only defense would be retaliation, which could mean an all out nuclear war which will meet any human's fear or global destruction. With this risk of global chaos existent, many of the world's leaders should be put at blame. If world leaders such as the United States established treaties to decrease or even eliminate chemical weapons, this problem would cease to exist because other nations would follow along."
