Krauthammer’s Misplaced Proliferation Pessimism
Charles Krauthammer wrote in the Washington Post recently that, in the face of the advancing nuclear programs in both Iran and North Korea, the “era of nonproliferation is over.”
Not so fast, though. His analysis is devoid of some much-needed historical context.
One Response to “Krauthammer’s Misplaced Proliferation Pessimism”
Sweden's (and others') progressive stand notwithstanding, the only way nonproliferation will become a vital movement is if the US takes a leading role.
Since that would mean reducing its own nuclear arsenal, I don't see that happening. in the current aggressve atmosphere.
The US still functions on the illusion that it can maintain indefinitely it's 'do as I say, not as I do' stance.
