What are weapons of mass destruction (WMDS)?

"Weapons of mass destruction" (WMDS) is a vague term, often used policies, to designate chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons capable of causing widespread destruction. This is unlike conventional bombs and bullets that only cause localized damage. The term "weapon of mass destruction" first appeared early after World War II, where it was created to refer to an atomic bomb. The deadline lay sleeping for decades until it was revived in 1990 by members of the Clinton administration during the Gulf War. Here the term was used to indicate chemical weapons produced by Saddam Hussein in Iraq. It is probably produced by Iraq and could be used to endanger the world community. This was used as a justification for the invasion of Iraq from 2003. No WMD was found. Thanks to its constant use, the US dialect company voted by WMD Word of the Year in 2002 and in 2003 added Lake Superior State University WMD on its List of Termsfor "Incorrect use, excessive use and general uselessness"

There are many controversies on which weapons should be considered WMD and which they should not. The American FBI defined WMD as: "The weapon exceeds the threshold value of WMD, when the consequences of its release amazes local respondents,” a truly wide definition that can refer to anything from Malta wheels to enough pistols. Some arms experts claimed that only nuclear weapons are real weapons of mass destruction, which are substantially devastating than chemical, biological and radiological weapons to date.

Numerous international treaties prohibit or reduce the use of certain weapons of mass destruction, including a contract for a partial test, the contract of space, the contract for the nuclear non -thesis (NPT), the arms control agreement, the comprehensive trial contract (CTBT),on biological and toxic weapons (BWC) and chemical weapons conventions (CWC).
