Omar: Is there a scenario for eliminating the US nuclear weapons ?
Lawrence: When the world is utterly at peace with no more Islamists, no more
rogue states like North Korea or Iran, and a reliable means for checking and
stopping a nation with roguish designs from developing nuclear weapons, the
U.S. would in a Fukuyamian future be willing to get rid of its nuclear
weapons as the last nation who has them.

There are other scary scenarios that come to mind.
These include:
-Islamist or other terrorists being able to reach the
nuclear weapons or facilities located within the US
(or elsewhere in the possession of US military), and
use them for their own purposes;
-An accidental nuclear exchange between US and another
nuclear power;
-Precipitious use of nuclear weapons by the US to
retaliate for a terrorist attack;
-Deliberate use of nuclear weapons by the US for
"pre-emptive" or aggressive purposes
-Nuclear war
Is there a scenario for eliminating the US nuclear
weapons ? O.K.
