The David Shorr Method of Nuclear Nonproliferation

John Boonstra at 11/18/2008 9:14AM

David Shorr of the Stanley Foundation -- and an On Day One judge for the "U.S. Image in the World" category -- offers a more substantive policy proposal for how the Obama administration can pursue a viable nuclear disarmament strategy.

The first major step toward the disarmament required of us under the NPT -- and the most convincing way to earn back our international credibility -- is an agreement with Russia for deeper bilateral reductions to 1,000 warheads. The only way to make such an agreement truly impressive is to have such a numerical ceiling for total warheads, not just deployed warheads. It would make nuclear disarmament easier if we clarify that the United States would only use nuclear weapons in retaliation for a nuclear attack on us or our allies. The next agreement, with a ceiling in the low hundreds, would also include China, France, and the UK. And the subsequent treaty, going down to the dozens (a truly minimal deterrent) would apply to all nuclear powers.

Basically, we still say "NO, NO, NO!!" to nukes, but "YES, YES, YES!!" to signing on to international nonproliferation treaties.
