Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
weapons are problems because they hold such immense destructive power; they can destroy thousands of people and obliterate entire cities at once. There are several dangers associated with them, including
proliferation "to other states"; but an even greater concern is "the invidious belief of policy makers in a small number of states that they have a right to maintain nuclear
weapons indefinitely, and that in their hands nuclear weapons do not constitute a threat either to their own citizens or to the remainder of humanity" (Krieger, 1997). Krieger condemns this
belief as "foolish," and points out that holding such a belief requires the individual to ignore a basic principle, that "if something can go wrong, it will" (1997). He
argues that theres no reason to think that the nations that currently have nuclear weapons will succeed in averting tragedy, and wonders why the leaders of nuclear powers seem so
complacent about what is essentially an abnormal situation (Krieger, 1997). In large part, he says, "otherwise normal people have learned to live with the terror of nuclear weapons and, in
doing so, have become accustomed to condoning terrorism at a national level" (Krieger, 1997). In this context, he isnt using the word "terrorism" as we do today-usually to describe the
attackers of 9/11-but in the sense that nations that have nuclear weapons have the potential to use them, either deliberately or more likely by accident. The situation is dangerous, he
argues, precisely because we have become used to it, and so make no protest; that means that the governments in question have no reason to change their policies (Krieger, 1997).
And if there is no change, "there will surely be proliferation and it will be only a question of time until nuclear weapons are again used in warfare" (Krieger, 1997).
