what did you think of it?

I liked it but mostly because it put together a framework for me to think about these issues. I have been woefully ignorant of the various dimensions of the non-proliferation agreements and where the various players stand. Yes, I thought he came across as 'abolitionist', but I think he put a good stake in the ground by saying we need to be more consistent and lead by example. I've been unhappy for some time about the 'disarmament agreement' between W and P down at the ranch a year or so ago--very cynical I thought.

the author was on firmer ground when he was attacking the Bushies than when he was proposing his own stuff.

I agree. I thought he made some telling points, points I fought with myself not to embolden so they would not be missed.

I hope everyone will read the paper because, besides providing a concise summary of the NPT, I think it presents us with several good starting points for discussion.

I'd like to suggest to the thread that we reserve every Tuesday exclusively for discussions of specific items from Foreign Affairs. The Perkovich article would be the first such dissection.

Opinions?
