This is a very interesting article that may be the key to understanding the US strategy.  It reflects my thinking on the issue in that it focuses on the right thing:  what is the long term solution to the loose nuke problem?  The answer, of course, is to work on extending the network of connectivity and prosperity we enjoy here to the rest of the world.  The author's view and the DoD's view is that this should be done through aggressive military and diplomatic action, particularly against the rogue states that destabilize entire regions.  This seems to be too direct a method and one unlikely to accomplish the goal.  We have to be smarter.  Our current track is causing entirely too much damage to the world's economy, organizational infrastructure, and good will to be sustainable over the long term. 10:59:10 AM    Comment_
