Since we live in a nuclear world and we have been the only country to ever use this weaponry against an enemy it is our job to work with the world and decrease the rate of proliferation. Since we have the largest stockpiles and know how best to maintain them, our responsibility is clear. Full transparency dismantling of our arsenal should be ongoing. Ultimately countries with agendas that may conflict with the interests of the USA or NATO will try to hedge their bets with a "deterrent" nuclear
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.
Our strength is not in advanced or high tech weaponry... but in Creativity and the Creative Cooperation that can and will empower us to lead the way into a future different from the conflicted and competitive past in every way. We have yet to fulfill the Promise of our potentially great country and now is the time for the kind and quality of leadership that will unlock that promise. Time is of the essence.
Restore and strengthen all the non-proliferation treaties which were demolished by the Bush/Cheney gang of thugs. End all nuclear subsidies to nuclear power to domestic companies and to foreign nations. Every nuclear plant is a potential bomb making machine as well as a potential weapon of mass destruction to be used against us. Adopt conflict resolution principles rather than conflict creating policies.
