Information Good afternoon. It's an honor to join with concerned, informed individuals to address the tragedy of nuclear weapons.
Nuclear weapons ARE a tragedy, the testing, their barbaric use against innocent people.
The continued existence of nuclear weapons is a tragedy. The United States spends more than 30 billion dollars a year to maintain its nuclear war fighting capability. At the same time, as President Eisenhower noted, people hunger and are not fed, people are cold and not clothed. They are an abomination, a threat to the future of humankind. And particularly so at this moment, because just about eight years ago, at the end of the cold war, we had hope, there was going to be a peace dividend.
