WW - I think that a lot of people are held back from thinking
about nuclear weapons because they think it's too horrible and there's nothing we can do. That nuclear weapons are necessary. But I
don't think they are necessary. I think it's perfectly sensible to think of getting rid of them. We have,
after all, banned other clumsy, not-very-useful weapons like chemical weapons
and biological weapons. So there's no reason why we can't say when we fight our wars we're going to
use these weapons but not those weapons. Nuclear weapons don't give you some magic advantage. When the United
States had its first war plan with nuclear weapons they imagined bombing Russia
with all 113 nuclear bombs but then they imagined they would have to fight the
Russian army in Europe anyway because once you've destroyed all the cities in
Russia, the army is just going to mount up and roll into Europe and take the
resources there. Winning wars involved beating the other guy's
Army not incinerating his civilians. Civilians are kind of beside the point. I
think that we can make real progress on nuclear weapons. I'm optimistic that it's possible.
RK - You're doing great work and it's so important.
WW - Thank you Rob.
