URL: | | Excerpt / Summary Senator John Kyl, former secretary of defense James Schlesinger, and others from the Cold War establishment reacted [to the Prague speech] as if Obama were calling for unilateral American nuclear disarmament. “The notion that we can abolish nuclear weapons reflects a combination of American utopianism and parochialism,” Schlesinger told the Wall Street Journal “If we were to approach zero nuclear weapons today,” Kyl and Richard Perle wrote in the same newspaper, “others would almost certainly try even harder to catapult to superpower status by acquiring a bomb or two.” |
