Fundamentally,
weapons of mass destruction compress the amount of time and effort needed to
kill (and injure or incapacitate). Although they are all area weapons, they
vary enormously in the cost and difficult of their
- Production
- Destructive effects
- Military utility
Nuclear weapons, if potentially the most
destructive of these weapons (not only in killing and injuring vast numbers of
people but also in destroying the physical infrastructure and disrupting communications
by electromagnetic) are also the most costly and difficult to manufacture.
There are estimates that Iraq
spent some 7 -10 billions us dollars over a decade in its five (5) Nuclear
Weapons programmes.
