You echo my thoughts. Until yesterday I was firmly against CTBT, until I heard it explained that ratifying CTBT could be used as a lever on some of the more junior thermonuclear powers. Making an atom bomb is a simple matter of combining plutonium and Internet. Making a good atom bomb is somewhat harder. Making a hydrogen bomb is technically very very hard. We've had a number of "yield failures" in nuke tests; this isn't spearfishing in a barrel. The strongest argument I have heard against CTBT is that it cannot be verified. But then ... why not cynically ratify it? After all, that wasn't a nuke test, and we're SHOCKED and not a small amount concerned that the Ambassador from ______ would voice such an unfounded and warlike suspicion.
