Two of those countries are Iran and North Korea. Of the two, Iran seems more likely to use those weapons, based on the fact that the leaders of Iran are so defiant in their language towards the rest of the world. Investigators for the United Nations, who monitors countries for such weaponry, have been misled, misinformed about intentions and even totally banned from inspections by both Iran and North Korea. Terrorist groups that are likely to use weapons of mass destruction are far too numerous to pontificate on in this paper, but two likely suspects could include Al Queda and Hamas.

If they have done it in the past, there is no reason to believe that they will change their modus operandi in the future. Hamas is another fanatical group that would seemingly love to obliterate Israel, and one way to do that is through nuclear weapons.
Overall, the precarious state of the world today is even more problematic and stressful than the Cold War was to the older generation. At least during the Cold War there was a fixed entity to hate and fear, now that fixed entity is a much more unknown quality.

Countries that would seem likely to use weapons of mass destruction include those countries that tout the fact that they are developing such technology. Two of those countries are Iran and North Korea. Of the two, Iran seems more likely to use those weapons, based on the fact that the leaders of Iran are so defiant in their language towards the rest of the world. Investigators for the United Nations, who monitors countries for such weaponry, have been misled, misinformed about intentions and even totally banned from inspections by both Iran and North Korea.

Terrorist groups that are likely to use weapons of mass destruction are far too numerous to pontificate on in this paper, but two likely suspects could include Al Queda and Hamas. The leaders of Al Queda have spoken many times about the necessary destruction of the 'Great Satan' (referring to America) and have displayed their intentions by flying two planes into the two New York towers in 2001. If they have done it in the past, there is no reason to believe that they will change their modus operandi in the future. Hamas is another fanatical group that would seemingly love to obliterate Israel, and one way to do that is through nuclear weapons.

Nuclear WMD a Real Threat

It has been viewed to manipulate the treaty for its gains in terms of securing security. After the treaty was signed, the international community's interest to agree to rules that had been accepted created a source of safety. The current world has termed the treaty as a regime.

War in Iraq the Conflict
PAGES 3 WORDS 1400

What is the opinion about whether the U.S. should have been there in the Iraq War or not? (America at War) The fact is that, in general, humanitarian intervention in a war, anywhere in the world, is accepted as a necessary thing, and also as an accepted fact of life, wherein the states that can afford to intervene and offer humanitarian help are welcomed with open arms. In this case,

But the threshold nuclear-weapons states will not give up their nuclear option without seeing proof of a timetabled move towards a nuclear-free world. The road towards the nuclear-free destination includes still deeper reductions in the nuclear arsenals of the five nuclear-weapons states; further constraints on the deployment of their nuclear weapons on the territories of other states, for example by means of regional nuclear-weapon-free zones; the entry into force

Nuclear Weapons Knowing why states build nuclear weapons is important for us in order to determine the future of international security and to direct foreign policy efforts in such a way so as to limit the spread of such dangerous armaments. Nuclear weapons are explosives which derive their ability to destroy from chemical reactions, either fission or fusion or a combination of both reactions.

More recently, however, the United States has contested with terrorism stemming from extreme Islamist groups that are at ideological odds with the Western way of life. The war on terror that began in 2001 has grown to represent

This debate is stated to have been lost by Bethe and he finally agreed to work as a consultant since he had failed to dissuade the building of a thermonuclear bomb and provided contributions to the effort focused toward design of the bomb. In contrast the physicist Teller had "been obsessed with the need to develop the hydrogen bomb ever since Enrico Fermi, suggested the possibility to him in
