We need to talk about it more. With 9/11 (and some American attempts to establish nuclear 1st strike doctrine), it sort of fell off the radar. Noam Chomsky always mentions nuclear weapons as the biggest threat to humankind, along with global warming.
We need to emphasize the uselessness/cost of nuclear weapons for rational/moral actors and the risk of irrational actors taking control.
The two largest nuclear arsenals (Russian and American) have been steadily decreasing over past 30 years, but it could happen faster.
