Ending Nuclear Proliferation

Christopher’s column makes a compelling case for halting further proliferation of nuclear weapons. Regrettably, he overlooks one obvious recommendation: Our government should accept Mikhail Gorbachev’s standing offer to immediately end all further testing of nuclear warheads. In fact, we and the Soviets promised we’d do just that when we signed the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The truth is that we lack authority to bring about an end to nuclear proliferation when we continue to test these hideous weapons.
