Nuclear Roulette
by Dr David Lowry, Institute for Resource and Security Studies
OR more than 60 years, good management and good fortune have meant
that nuclear arsenals have not been used. But we cannot rely on history
just to repeat itself, “ so said Margaret Beckett when Labour’s foreign
secretary in a notable speech to a nuclear affairs conference in Washington
DC on June 25 2007. This week, as the world commemorates the atomic
immolation of two Japanese cities — the unforgettable Hiroshima and
Nagasaki — in which some 200,000 human beings were instantly incinerated
and fatally irradiated, the nuclear sabres have been rattling once more.
