Nuclear weapon free zone (NWFZ) in the Mid East/World? What about that?

reposted of Mark Gaffney

Friends, we must work together to prevent a catastrophe. We must stop the next Middle East war before it starts.

The US government must turn over to the United Nations the primary responsibility for resolving the deepening crisis in Iraq, and, immediately thereafter, withdraw US forces from the country.

We must also prevail upon the Israelis to sign the Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) and open all of their nuclear sites to IAEA inspectors.

Only then can serious talks begin with Iran and other states to establish a nuclear weapon free zone (NWFZ) in the Mid East –– so essential to the region’s long-term peace and security.

1. Gotta walk the walk first
When the US adheres to its own treaties are we in a position to make these propositions.

3. North America should also be a Nuclear weapon free zone
Teaching by example is always the best way. :)

Somehow, I don't think it will happen. :(

2. Dead on arrival...Israel won't give up its nukes.
Now, an all free of nukes but one country mideast, that is being attempted even as we live and breathe.
