WILL BUSH START NEW ATOM BOMB RACE?

Bush's "Nuclear Posture Review" harkens back to the days of "Dr. Strangelove," with the U.S. claiming right to wage unlimited, undeclared war on anyone it wants. Historically, Washington has taken the position that it would use nuclear weapons only as a last resort and only against nuclear- armed states. But the new review suggests that nuclear weapons could be used in other circumstances and it cited seven nations -- China, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Russia, and Syria -- as possible targets. "The NPR blurs (the distinction between war-fighting and deterrence) by calling for development of new nuclear weapons," according to the Center for Arms Control. "Developing 'usable' nuclear weapons with perceived military value will encourage other states to pursue similar capabilities" The Return of Nuclear Insanity Bush Proposal Blurs Defensive, Attack Use China in "Deep Shock" After Bush Calls it Possible Bomb Target
