In a response to former U.S. Ambassador John R. Bolton’s characterization [2]of the Obama administration’s nuclear arms control efforts as “deeply troubling to America,” Frida Berrigan [3]of the Ploughshares-funded New America Foundation [4]writes to the New York Times [5]that it is Bolton’s “insistence on clinging to irrelevant weapons systems whose primary purpose is mass destruction that is scary.” She concludes, “At a time when the world community is grappling with the difficult — but not insurmountable — work of seeking security in a world free of nuclear weapons, Mr. Bolton’s gloom and doom scenarios are dangerous and counterproductive.”
