It is evident that without Israel’s participation at the 2012 Conference, it will be unlikely that much progress will be realized towards the creation of a Middle East free of WMD. Efforts must be made to ensure all parties remember that the Conference is not just about nuclear weapons, while for its part, Israel must accept the necessity of engaging in the Conference simultaneous to peace building and regional diplomacy, writes Chad O'Caroll in this new analysis.

The ‘New START’ Treaty signed by Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev in Prague on 8 April 2010 is an important step in the renewed drive for nuclear disarmament, but its overall contribution towards the goal of a world free from nuclear weapons should not be overstated writes Andrew Futter in this new analysis.

However you feel about the role of the United States in initiating the atomic age, whatever you think of the long American and Soviet arms race, it is my firm belief that the United States must provide leadership to end the nuclear arms race – and move towards a world free of nuclear weapons, said John Isaacs in a speech delivered in Malaysia on 2 June 2010.

A distressing trend has developed in relation to the politicization of U.S. nuclear weapons policy - President Obama is criticized, while Pentagon support for the president is ignored. In short, there is a pattern emerging of selective and misleading outrage, with partisan critics caricaturizing Obama's policies while neglecting to mention or acknowledge that the policies he is advancing enjoy the strong support of the nation's military leadership, writes General Robert Gard in the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Despite the end of the U.S.-Soviet competition, the remaining 23,000 nuclear bombs across the globe present a clear and present danger to U.S. security. The President's program to focus the world's attention on this problem and to take serious steps to ameliorate this threat is critical to preventing nuclear catastrophes, write Robert Gard and John Isaacs in the Huffington Post.

Reducing the numbers and stopping the spread of nuclear weapons will require a global effort, and both New START and the test ban treaty are critical measures that will do both, greatly enhancing our national security. The fate of New START in the Senate will decide the outcome of our nuclear spring and our hopes for a more secure future, writes Richard Klass in the Sun Journal.

Indeed, the greatest national security threat for my generation is no longer determined by which countries possess nuclear weapons — it is the very existence of the weapons themselves, writes Katie Mounts in the Times Record.

Once approved by each county’s legislative bodies, New START will make important advances in reducing the unnecessarily large nuclear arsenals of the United States and Russia. It’s high time for nuclear weapons--vestiges of a bygone era--to be drastically and decisively reduced in number, writes Mary Slosson in the Register Citizen.

Stepping back from the past few frantic days on nuclear weapons issues, it is useful to realize how much has been accomplished. The last two weeks have arguably been the two most eventful weeks on reducing the dangers posed by nuclear weapons since the advent of the nuclear age, writes John Isaacs in this new analysis.

On April 8, after nearly a year of tough negotiations, the U.S. and Russia signed the "New START" treaty in Prague, Czech Republic. As John Isaacs explains in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the result of these difficult negotiations will now face what could be equally tortuous consideration by the U.S. Senate.

The United States is, and will continue to be, vulnerable to nuclear attack so long as nuclear weapons exist. But this doesn't mean that it can't keep its options open on missile defense and negotiate a START follow-on agreement that will enhance American security. The two efforts are not mutually exclusive and framing them as such presents a false dilemma, Kingston Reif and Travis Sharp argue in DoD Buzz.
