The U. S. military is on the brink of war with Iran. According to Bennis, "The Iran nuclear controversy has become an important opportunity for the U. S. and global peace movements to return to the issue of nuclear weapons and the need for nuclear disarmament - not only non-proliferation. The level of U. S. hypocrisy, in welcoming Isreal's powerful nuclear arsenal, and most recently rewarding India, which refused to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and built its own illegal nuclear weapons, with a new advanced nuclear technology. while threatening to go to war against Iran (which does not have a nuclear weapon and is a signatory to the NPT, has accepted large-scale UN inspections, and has not violated NPT requirements regarding enrichment) provides a huge opportunity, indeed obligation, for us to build up this arena of work."
