Art of the Bluff with Weapons of Mass Destruction

摘要

Like the Cold War years, the world once again finds itself at the crossroads ofmass destruction. Dynamic changes in world political polarity, regional power struggles, and the turmoil of ethnic and religious unrest have positioned humanity at the starting gates of a renewed arms race with weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Rivalries within the nations of the global periphery, those third world nations lacking major power status, are sparking a crisis of world instability and conflict. At the heart of this crisis are the rogue leaders who see nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction (WMD) as their ticket to power and stature in a regional conflict. Also fanning the fires of crisis are the disenfranchised nationalistic, ethnic, and religious groups who see these same weapons as a legitimate means to pursue their political agendas.
