By Douglas Roche
"Reflecting on the total number of nuclear weapons still in existence is staggering. The estimated number is 34,145. This number is an improvement over the 65,000 nuclear weapons in existence during the mid-1980s. But is the world supposed to be satisfied that the current number allows the world to be blown apart only, say, 100 times rathen than 200? The destructive power of the world's arsenal is beyond comprehension. Reduced numbers will not make the world safe, but rather the complete elimination of these weapons. Far from grappling with their responsiblity before it is too late, the major powers are running away from it."
