Proliferation

Most of you will take one look at the length of this attached essay and close the window, but as we discussed today in class, nuclear proliferation is a very pertinent issue today, given the growing number of nuclear states.  Our job in this class isn't to understand how one gets the bomb, but the underlying political reasons for why different nation states want the bomb.

This article goes a long way toward helping us understand how to answer that question.  If you can't access the link just let me know (joy@saintbernards.us) and I'll bring in a copy or two into class.
