Serious About Nukes

Marc tackles the Commission on the Prevention of WMD Proliferation and Terrorism's report:

The Obama national security cabinet includes nuclear alarmists, proponents of preclusion, opponents of preclusion, and those who've seen first hand how difficult it is to create policy on the basis of what we think we know and what we most fear.  Some are interventionist: the best way to prevent nations from decaying into breeding grounds for terrorists is to prevent them from decaying in the first place. Don't be surprised if Obama links these sorts of interventions to the WMD question, which is to say, don't be surprised if, to Obama, the threats of failed states and WMD profileration are indelibly linked.
