Description[?]:
| speech by Chisem: Even at the height of the war, nuclear weapons have no influence on the course of events. They deterr no enemy, . Not only have nuclear weapons been of no military value, they are dangerous to possess. We have come to a fork in the road,Either there must be a demonstrated commitment to move toward nuclear disarmament, or we should resign ourselves to the fact that other countries will pursue a more dangerous parity through proliferation.Nuclear proliferation is a symptom, and these symptoms will continue to persist and worsen as long as we leave unaddressed the underlying causes of insecurity and instability—such as chronic disputes which continue to fester, the persistent lack of good governance and basic freedoms, a growing divide between rich and poor, and newly perceived schisms based on ethnic or religious differences In this century, in this generation, we must develop a new approach to security capable of transcending borders—an inclusive approach that is centered on the value of every human life. The sooner we can make that transition, the sooner we will achieve our goal of a planet with peace and justice as its hallmark An essential benchmark will be that a concrete roadmap for verified, irreversible nuclear disarmament, complete with a timetable, and involving not only Dorvik but also in the whole, is at last put in place We need a world free from nuclear weapons; and so we need a re-moralized Dorvik to take the lead and bequeath planet Earth a fate free of nuclear holocaust. Some kind of future nuclear tragedy would seem probable in the absence of transcendent regional disarmament. Until All Nuclear Nations Disarm, Others Will Lust After Same Power, therefore we should keep our policy of disarmament and peace |
