Gamma-ray weapons could trigger next arms race I hear a lot of claims that something or other will trigger the next arms race but I wonder what they actually mean by that. Rich Lowry at National Review put the argument for low yield nukes this way - "Their complaint about a low-yield nuke is exactly that, in the words of Congress in 1994, it would "blur the distinction between nuclear and conventional war." Or, as a Federation of American Scientists report puts it, "adding low-yield warheads to the world's nuclear inventory simply makes their eventual use more likely." Actually, that's not quite true: It makes their use seem more plausible, which in turn makes their use less likely." nationalreview.com also see townhall.com
