secretary general Ban calls for Nuclear nuclear disarmament

click here for the story....

Pretty much the Secretary General of the united nations has called for countries to begin the disarmament of nuclear weapons. personally nuclear technology has provided us with great strides such as nuclear power. but if countries sell the materials that can be used to create W.M.D's to non state actors, then the whole world is at risk. i think that the nuclear powers should do more to stop the selling of dual use technology to unchecked buyers, or we should disarm. Do you think that countries (particularly the US) should adhere to this call and begin major disarmament of nuclear weapons?

For the US I don't think it matters, we've disarmed a large proportion of what we had already, and we have the means to secure what we have better than most. I think the old soviet-bloc warheads are the biggest threat, right alongside proliferation of new weapons by rogue states and other well-funded "organizations". The fact that Pakistani technicians were caught selling dirty bomb "starter kits" is extremely unsettling to me.
