7 FOREWORD The nexus between international terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and the countries of the Middle East has emerged as one of the most troubling security issues of the twenty-first century. The reality of this issue is highly complex. The international community has experienced some recent success in stemming the spread of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons in the region. A.Q. Khan s clandestine effort to sell nuclear-weapon technology and technical assistance has been shut down. Libya also has abandoned its nuclear-weapons program. These achievements, however, have not extended to other important actors in the region. Iran has defied the nonproliferation regime by continuing to build a nuclear-weapons program, and there is a growing concern that it is only a matter of time before terrorists acquire and use a rudimentary chemical, biological, or radiological device. Israel retains its policy of deliberate ambiguity when it comes to its nuclear capability, leaving scholars to assess the impact of Tel Aviv s policies on the region. The counterproliferation war fought by a U.S. led coalition against Iraq also has turned into a source of embarrassment. Although the second Gulf war succeeded in eliminating the threat posed by Saddam Hussein s regime, it now appears that the U.S. intelligence community greatly overestimated Iraq s programs to build WMD while it underestimated the apparent effectiveness of international policies to constrain Iraq s weapons programs. The challenges posed by the presence of WMD programs in the Middle East are highly nuanced. This nuance is reflected in this outstanding collection of analytical compositions, WMD Proliferation in the Middle East: Trends and Policy Options in the Twenty-First Century. James Russell and his contributors take a fresh and balanced look at the proliferation issue in the Middle East, seeking to generate theoretically informed policy prescriptions that can help reduce the danger posed by the spread of WMD in this volatile region. By exploring a variety of case studies from several theoretical perspectives, Russell and the contributors to the volume make a much needed contribution to our understanding of the threat of WMD in the Middle East today.

9 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The chapters in this volume were initially presented at a conference in Monterey, California, hosted by the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in June 2004 and sponsored by the Advanced Systems Concept Office in the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA-ASCO). Dave Hamon at ASCO deserves credit for allowing NPS to sponsor the conference, and for supporting the research all the authors put into this valuable project. The conference was an overwhelming success, providing a forum for experts from widely diverse backgrounds to discuss their perspectives on the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. Special thanks to my research assistant at NPS, Ms. Lashley Pulsipher, who helped ensure the flawless execution of the conference and the subsequent follow-up with the authors over the next several months. Thanks, too, to Dr. Jeff Larsen and his team at Larsen Consulting Group for their excellent work in editing and preparing the manuscript. Finally, thanks to David Pervin at Palgrave Macmillan for his support, patience, and recognition that this important topic deserved to be brought to print.
