Even if you are right about proliferation being unstoppable, would you not
want to act now to stop it?
Yes, Eric, but the way that I would act is what you ridicule. The only hope
for the long term is for all nations to give up all nuclear weapons. Only a
world wide government could police that. As currently constructed the UN
certainly couldn't, but it could with changes. Those changes must come
through the recognition of what the stakes are if we fail to stop
proliferation. Work to secure a meaningful United Nations if you're serious
about stopping nuclear proliferation. The tactics outlined by Lawrence's
post will only encourage proliferation.
