Dismantling the arguments against the START treaty on the NewsHour last night, Richard Burt, the Reagan administration's chief U.S. negotiator for the original START treaty, noted that "there are only two governments in the world that wouldn't like to see this treaty ratified, the government in Tehran and the government in North Korea."

Burt also warned that, if the treaty fails, not only would "we miss the opportunity to improve relations with the Russians, who have supported us on Iran and U.N. sanctions and increasingly in Afghanistan," but the U.S. would also "lose all credibility on the problem of stopping nuclear proliferation."..
