Above All Remember Your Humanity.

When The Start 2 Treaty Has Been Implemented - And Remember It Has Not Yet Been Ratified - We Will Be Left With Some 15,000 Nuclear Warheads, Active And In Reserve. Fifteen Thousand Weapons With An Average Yield Of 20 Hiroshima Bombs.

Let Me Remind You That Nuclear Disarmament Is Not Just An Ardent Desire Of The People, As Expressed In Many Resolutions Of The United Nations. It Is A Legal Commitment By The Five Official Nuclear States, Entered Into When They Signed The Non-proliferation Treaty.

We Are Told That The Possession Of Nuclear Weapons - In Some Cases Even The Testing Of These Weapons - Is Essential For National Security. But This Argument Can Be Made By Other Countries As Well.
