One Mistake Before Armageddon
by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts PaulCraigRoberts.org
Each of us faces each day threats to our health, happiness, and life. Overarching it all, we collectively face death from nuclear weapons.
The development of nuclear weapons was a human stupidity. They cannot be used, but their existence threatens the life of the planet. So why have them? Accident, emotional response, loss of reason are all human faults that can come into play at any time.
During the 20th century Cold War these dangers were underlined by the Cuban Missile Crisis. President Nixon led the way to sanity with arms control agreements with the Soviet Union and his opening to China. Presidents Carter and Reagan kept the momentum going for reduced tensions and peaceful coexistence.
