McCain and Nuclear Disarmament
This week John McCain gave a speech on nuclear disarmament.
"Russia and the United States are no longer mortal enemies," McCain said in a speech that was interrupted at least four times by hecklers opposed to the Iraq war. "As our two countries possess the overwhelming majority of the world's nuclear weapons, we have a special responsibility to reduce their number. I believe we should reduce our nuclear forces to the lowest level we judge necessary, and we should be prepared to enter into a new arms control agreement with Russia reflecting the nuclear reductions I will seek."
This is one of the biggest issues that nobody talks about. Humanity collectively holds a gun to its own head year after year and yet we do nothing. We just get used to it, even though the longer we go on like this, the more countries acquire nuclear weapons... the more dangerous it gets. And our luck will run out eventually.
