And for an explanation of why committing to nuclear disarmament makes sense as a national priority, don't miss Matthew Yglesias' On Day One contribution.
Atmost we can do is to protect the stockpiles of nuclear weapon systems, and materials that are use to produce these weapons. You CANNOT stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the knowledge to make them is out there{the tooth paste is out of the tube}. Security of these wesapons is the key for preventing the terrorist from using nuclear weapons.
Not only must we not create more nuclear weapons, we must rid the planet of the ones that exist. Unstable governments, and breaches of security could allow such weapons to fall into the hands of terrorists, to the detriment of all living beings. Just say "NO" to more nukes!
The time has come to use conflict management theory and create dialogs which address root causes of fear and the perception that increased nuclear proliferation creates security.
Nuclear weapons are genocidal weapons, and therefore already outlawed by international law.If we allow every nation a severely limited, small number of nuclear weapson for defensive purposes, and outlaw all other nuclear weapons, then we would have a semblance of national security and absence of agressive actions by any one nation. The world may be able to live without the nuclear holocaust we all dread today.
