Toward a World Free of Nuclear Weapons
(July, 2007 -- South Carolina; November, 2007 -- Iowa)
While the Cold War may be over, the nuclear threat is not. The United States and Russia still have thousands of nuclear weapons poised for immediate launch.
Last year, North Korea tested a nuclear weapon—crossing the nuclear threshold.
If something isn't done, more nations will get the bomb. And eventually terrorists will, too.
Nuclear weapons make the world a dangerous place.
That's why Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, William Perry and Sam Nunn are calling on the United States to take the lead and work together with Russia, China, and other nations "to turn the goal of a world without nuclear weapons into a joint enterprise."*
Embracing a world free of nuclear weapons is key to our national security for generations to come.
