The new nuclear threat
Long before the world worried about biological warfare, there was the specter of
nuclear war. Though the Cold War is over and the potential of a nuclear
exchange between the U.S. and Russia and their allies has abated, nuclear
weapons still loom large on the global psyche. Keeping these weapons
out of the hands of smaller countries hoping build up a nuclear arsenal has
proved troublesome in the same way as Hussein and his stockpile of biological weaponry .
