“No country should have nukes”

A poll conducted for AssociatedPress in March 2005 shows that 66% of all Americans surveyed say that “No country should be allowed to have nuclear weapons,” including the United States (www.ap-ipsoresults.com).

This contrasts sharply with programs in all nuclear weapons states to modernize their arsenals and with efforts by some nations who aim to acquire nuclear stockpiles. The survey also found that 52% believe that within the next five years one country will attack another country with nuclear weapons, and 53% think a nuclear terrorist attack is likely in the same timeframe. Reason enough to continue our efforts to achieve a nuclear weapons free world!
