There is an interesting opinion piece on TomPaine.com written by Peter Bradford and Kurt Gottfried titled Nuclear Deficits that I think every nuclear advocate needs to read carefully. In preparation for any battle, whether it is actual warfare, a football game, or an intellectual debate, it is always worth the effort to try to understand…
