Nonproliferation Review: http://www.stimson.org/ Arms Control Today: www.armscontrol.org Disarmament Diplomacy: http://www.acronym.org.uk/dd/ Bulletin of Atomic Scientists: http://www.thebulletin.org/ Federation of American Scientists: www.fas.org NRDC: www.nrdc.org (choose “nuclear weapons and waste” then “related links”) Center for Defense Information: www.cdi.org Stimson Center: http://www.stimson.org Do you agree or disagree with Huntington’s belief that an ongoing “clash of civilizations” is occurring and will inevitably lead to an endless war between a Christianized West and an Islamic East? If you do agree, does it widely expand our definition of terrorist threats? If not, how does Huntington err in his assessment of global terrorism? Your response should be at least 4 paragraphs.

After visiting Center for Defense Information: www.cdi.org and Arms Control Today: www.armscontrol.org, I think that there is mostly agreement in the serious way of considering nuclear threats by terrorists. This is because nuclear weapons are not limited to be found with the governments of different countries. There are specific governments of specific Middle Eastern countries which might be secretly assisting or sheltering terrorists by providing them nuclear weapons. This is because it is easier for terrorists to use nuclear weapons and commit suicide bombings to cause mass destruction. There are spies who provide information about nuclear weapons to terrorist organizations.
