Do you prefer your calls for nuclear zero when they come from Cold War conservatives? Then check out the January 2007 article "A World Free of Nuclear Weapons," by George P. Shultz, William J. Perry, Henry A. Kissinger and Sam Nunn. Here's a snip:Even as the new president and administration struggle to restructure and transform the American economy in 2009, consider this possibility: 2009 could be the year when the two former Cold warriors, America and Russia, decide to make dramatic reductions in nuclear weapons and convene an international conference of all nuclear nations to agree to the complete elimination of nuclear weapons from the face of the earth.
Happy New Year. Let's join the efforts to make it nuclear free.First and foremost should be intensive work with leaders of the countries in possession of nuclear weapons to turn the goal of a world without nuclear weapons into a joint enterprise. Such a joint enterprise, by involving changes in the disposition of the states possessing nuclear weapons, would lend additional weight to efforts already under way to avoid the emergence of a nuclear-armed North Korea and Iran.
