[http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0908910.html ''Fighting Words: An Iraq War Glossary''] says that '''Weapons of mass destruction (WMD)''' are "chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons. The ''Washington Post'' quoted historian Paul Fussell on the subject: 'A machine gun, properly fired, is a weapon of mass destruction. We're pretending that only awful and sinister people own weapons of mass destruction. We own them, too. We just call them something else.'"
