Abstract
Weapons of mass destruction emerge as a grim but inevitable topic whenever terrorism is discussed. Yet, the United States has thus far been spared a massive nuclear, chemical or biological attack. The older model of politically motivated, violent, but essentially rational terrorists who used some restraint in propagating their message is now defunct. This paper examines how biological and chemical weapons relate both to the mindset and the modus operandi of Campbell's (1998) notion of "ultra-violent" terrorists, and then discusses how nuclear superiority could provide an important component of deterrence against terrorist attacks with weapons of mass destruction.
