		<description><![CDATA[An interesting guest column appeared in today&#8217;s Des Moines Register, written by the current Physicians for Social Responsibility Board President.

I&#8217;ve written quite a bit about New START; in one of my posts, I described it as a &#8220;maintenance agreement&#8221;. It&#8217;s a big deal that they&#8217;re signing it, but it&#8217;s also routine. It [...]]]></description>

One thing that I have discovered while reading and writing about nuclear weapons issues is that there is a lot of middle ground when it comes to political views. I&#8217;ll utter the dreaded &#8220;B Word&#8221; and say that nukes are a truly bipartisan issue; it&#8217;s possible to have a reasonable discussion without [...]]]></description>
