The USE OF THESE WEAPONS
These weapons are used to kill and destroy on a large scale. That is why many nations try to create their own stockpiles of these weapons. It is also the reason why America is always trying to stop Asian, African and Arab counties from making these weapons. Weapons of mass destruction used to kill a large number of enemy soldiers and destroy a large number of enemy machines and buildings. These weapons are also used as a means of defense in case of war. Nuclear weapons have only seen action in war once. This is when America dropped two on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in 1945. Terrorists have only been able to use chemical and biological weapons and 'dirty' bombs. Since nuclear weapons are hard to make they have never been used by terrorists. Only a few nation posses nuclear weapons which are the most powerful of weapons of mass destruction.
