Do you refer to nuclear weapons? WMD is an imprecise and even dangerously vague term, derived from a Russian military term of art from the Cold War. I wish folks would not use it to discuss nuclear weapons, as it clouds the issue.
If one means nuclear weapons, one should refer to nuclear weapons, or nukular or whatever :blink: and not confuse gas or germ weapons with nukes. The difference in effect is in orders of magnitude.
Consider the sarin attack in Tokyo. Substitute for the sarin bomb going off a tactical nuke detonating. In the TOkyo Subway. Do the math, compare the body counts and long term effects to Tokyo.
No comparison.
