| Summary / Abstract (Note) | President Barack Obama's insightful speech on April 5, 2009, in Prague portends significant changes in the US policy approach towards arms control and nuclear disarmament.1 Obama's enlightened statement has kindled hopes that mankind is nearing a turning point since its tryst with the nuclear bomb. Much of this will depend enormously on our past experiences with the bomb since it was first dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Michael Krepon's excellent book Better Safe than Sorry: The Ironies of Living with the Bomb says that instead of overblowing the threat of a nuclear armageddon, it is important that the policy-makers secure nuclear materials from falling into the wrong hands. |
