		<description><![CDATA[Also published here. Over the past few years, as I&#39;ve written about various aspects of nuclear weapons and nuclear non-proliferation issues, I&#39;ve observed one particularly disturbing trend, which is the rather cavalier attitude people have toward &#8220;nukes&#8221;. I&#39;m not a sociologist, and I haven&#39;t conducted a formal study, but there&#39;s a tendency among people online [...]]]></description>

Test your cleverness with the Stimson Center&#39;s new online game, Cheater&#39;s Risk.

We&#8217;ve seen editorials written by the &#8220;Four Statesmen&#8221; (Shultz, Perry, Nunn, and Kissinger) advocating for elimination of nuclear weapons; we&#8217;ve seen Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) call for new nuclear tests.
