Growing up during the Cold War, I remember the seemingly imminent threat of nuclear war. In primary school we were taught to 'duck-and-cover' for protection. But even as children hiding under wooden desks, we recognized the inadequacies of this strategy.

I'm still bothered by the threat of nuclear war.

We must take steps to prevent further nuclear weapons development or modernization.

Nuclear proliferation - the proliferation of WMDs altogether - is one of the greatest dangers of our time.

The whole nuclear thing is a terrible mess and it's hard for me to understand why it is that we, the United States, seem to be the only ones that are really particularly concerned about it and prepared to do something.

I think all of you know there is no adequate defense against massive nuclear attack.

The surest way to prevent war is not to fear it.

We have got thousands of nuclear weapons in order to achieve deterrence.

We have every interest in seeing that the military use of nuclear power will be contained.
