Posted Fri Dec 14 2007: from Taipei Times (Taiwan): Keep strong nuke pact: Gorbachev http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1197642699 "Former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev said on Tuesday a pillar of the arms control system could fall if Washington and Moscow replace the landmark START nuclear arms reduction treaty with a less formal pact. The START treaty, signed in 1991, set ceilings on the size of the Russian and US nuclear arsenals and became a symbol of the end of the Cold War. Washington has indicated it will not extend it in 2009 but wants to replace it with a pact that eliminates strict verification requirements and weapons curbs." No reader quips yet -- be the first!

The ApocaDocs say: We agree with Gorby: "In an interview, he said he disagrees with Russian President Vladimir Putin and others who have called the treaty outdated and suggested that Moscow should consider pulling out of it." The Cold War may be "over" but it's lots better than a hot one.
