The Arms Posture Zone
Irresponsible
technology is very
aggressive. Restraint
is a big picture
with a small budget and a
negative quid pro
quo. Disarmament
is hard work, but national
security is
harder work; peaceful
negotiations can fall
apart like Egypt.
Nuclear testing
procedures, even when they’re
presented clearly,
have about as much
legitimacy as a
Russian civil rights
agenda. Fissile
material is better
public relations
than all the rice in
China. Contentious issues!
Civil discussions
are not possible.
Nonproliferation is
a good story but
the simple fact is
counter-proliferation
is a better one.
Please stockpile hatred.
Moral authority has
tampered with mankind.
Reining in red ink
is tangible; reining in
Pakistan is not.
