The Cold War Is Over, But Cold

My Third Appeal Is To My Fellow Citizens In All Countries: Help Us To Establish Lasting Peace In The World.

But Scientists On Both Sides Of The Iron Curtain Played A Very Significant Role In Maintaining The Momentum Of The Nuclear Arms Race Throughout The Four Decades Of The Cold War.

Long Before The Terrifying Potential Of The Arms Race Was Recognized, There Was A Widespread Instinctive Abhorrence Of Nuclear Weapons, And A Strong Desire To Get Rid Of Them.

Whatever System Of Governance Is Eventually Adopted, It Is Important That It Carries The People With It. We Need To Convey The Message That Safeguarding Our Common Property, Humankind, Will Require Developing In Each Of Us A New Loyalty: A Loyalty To Mankind. It Calls For The Nurturing Of A Feeling Of Belonging To The Human Race. We Have To Become World Citizens.

But The Nuclear Powers Still Cling Tenaciously To Their Weapons.
