Three years ago, the series of nuclear explosions in South Asia removed any hope that nuclear weapons would remain "in the closet." Since then both countries have gradually developed their nuclear systems and plans and little real progress has been made to reduce the dangers. Instead, the United States continues its principled stand to stop and reverse nuclear proliferation in South Asia or at least under a new Administration appears to be ignoring the problems attendant with new nuclear arsenals. In much the same way the Bush Administration seeks to "square the circle" in the anti-ballistic missile arena, so too must we find a new proliferation policy that makes the most of a bad situation.
