We are told that the possession of nuclear weapons - in some cases even the testing of these weapons - is essential for national security. But this argument can be made by other countries as well.

What is the only provocation that could bring about the use of nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. What is the priority target for nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. What is the only established defense against nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. How do we prevent the use of nuclear weapons? By threatening the use of nuclear weapons. And we can't get rid of nuclear weapons, because of nuclear weapons. The intransigence, it seems, is a function of the weapons themselves.

We continue to have nuclear weapons relied on as a weapon of choice. If that policy were to continue, we continue to have countries who are in a security bind, if you like, or perceive themselves to be in security bind to look for acquisition of nuclear weapons.

If the militarily most powerful - and least threatened - states need nuclear weapons for their security, how can one deny such security to countries that are truly insecure? The present nuclear policy is a recipe for proliferation. It is a policy for disaster.

I think there are many times when it would be most efficient to use nuclear weapons. However, the public opinion in this country and throughout the world throw up their hands in horror when you mention nuclear weapons, just because of the propaganda that's been fed to them.

Tepco Cracks In Concrete At Their Nuclear Reactor
Tepco still can’t stop it
at this critical time point
it is obvious they can’t
they can’t even cover it
with layers of concrete!
they have been trying
they have been trying everything
trying everything because everything
is being eaten away by ceasium 137
a half-life of about 30.17 years
ceasium 137 is anthropogenic
an anthropogenic impact on environment
impacts on biophysical environments
anthropogenic designates an effect
an object resulting from human activity
ceasium 137 does not occur in nature
did not exist before nuclear weapons testing
welcome to another wonderful invention
another wonderful invention of humanity
superpowers love to stockpile nuclear weapons
meanwhile radiation is still spewing into sea
at beleaguered Fukushima nuclear complex
to block pipes use polymer shredded paper
pray works paper mashe paste water powder
try anything to fix leaks from nuclear reactor

The inspections started in 1991, right after the Gulf War. One of the conditions for the ceasefire was that Iraq had to do away with all of its weapons of mass destruction - biological, chemical and nuclear weapons and long-range missiles.
The widespread diffusion of nuclear weapons would make many nations able, and in some cases also create the pressure, to aggravate an on-going crisis, or even touch off a war between two other powers for purposes of their own.
