America Must Revive Its Nuclear Culture

Now the world faces the proliferators. North Korea remains committed to weaponizing its nuclear capability, and U.S. military officials believe they are an operational threat, with new, road-mobile ICBMs. Above all, Iran has seemingly negotiated an agreement with the Obama administration that will allow it to build a nuclear weapon at the end of the ten-year timeframe of the treaty, though scholars like Graham Allison argue that Tehran already possesses the capability to make a bomb. A once dreamed of nuclear-free future has turned into a nightmare of nuclear proliferation and a growing threat.
