A New START on Arms Control

New America Foundation's Arms and Security Initiative Director William D. Hartung counters Ariel Cohen's New York Times essay on the Obama administration's approach to nuclear arms reductions. Cohen’s alarmist essay suggests that even relatively small steps towards reducing the world's arsenal of over 20,000 strategic nuclear warheads could somehow put us in danger. Hartung writes that the argument underestimates the value and purpose of practical arms control measures like the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), writes Hartung.
