Schlesinger: Nuke-free world bad, not good

With rogue nations like North Korea around, it’s hard to totally argue with former Defense and Energy secretary James Schlesinger arguing against nuclear disarmament, right?

Wrong.

In fact, he undercuts himself in his own column, citing Japanese political leader Ichiro Ozawa’s claim it had enough plutonium for several thousand warheads, and the skill to ramp up quickly. Obviously, we could do the same, especially if we built breeder reactors as all our future nuclear reactors.
