"Russia is imploring the United States to negotiate lower limits, but so far the Bush administration has refused."
Let's hope saner heads prevail in the 12 member bipartisan commission.
Frankly, I feel anyone unable to see us achieving that vision and the desirability of a nuclear weapons free world has the qualifications necessary for head of Central Command. It is time to purge the military leadership of those unable to understand that the conviction that that is an attainable goal (as agreed to in UN resolution #1 in 1945 and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty of 1969) is what has kept other nations from developing nuclear weapons.

Let's be honest, a nuclear weapon is essentially a modern, high tech, super-sized Auschwitz. Do folks that see value in machines designed to kill as large a civilian population as possible have a missing gene?
