A contest in which people compete to see who can kill more of each others soldiers is the traditional concept of war. In our brave new world, there is indeed a new face on war -- terrorism and the potential use of WMD. On this subject, I think it is possible to build a widespread agreement -- we can agree that this is serious and needs to be dealt with. The question is how. My sense is that the "how" requires a global process of building a consensus for disarmament. The unilateral "lets bomb them ASAP" approach is a major step backwards. It destroys the very consensus we need to make if we are to make any progress on WMD.
