It looks as though some in our government want to ensure that nuclear weapons live on and adapt to the 21st century world. The Bush administration is worried that our nuclear arsenal is out of date and becoming too difficult and costly to maintain. After all, we have not built a new warhead in close to twenty years and we haven't tested one since 1992. So, it has been talking with Congress about spending our dollars to start researching a new generation of nuclear weapons. Thus far, Congress has approved $25 million for this research.
Why should Iran and North Korea stop their nuclear weapons programs if we are modernizing ours?
