As long as some of us choose to rely on nuclear weapons, we continue to risk that these same weapons will become increasingly attractive to others.

Democracy is not an instant coffee.

I worry about a democracy having nuclear weapons as much as a dictatorship having nuclear weapons.

Every country has the right to nuclear technology as long as they use it safely, peacefully and in a secure way.

If we are addressing the issue of weapons of mass destruction, we need to send a uniform, consistent message that there is zero tolerance to any country who is developing weapons of mass destruction, North Korea included.

I think one country with nuclear weapons is one country too many.

I am an Egyptian Muslim, educated in Cairo and New York, and now living in Vienna. My wife and I have spent half our lives in the North, half in the South. And we have experienced first hand the unique nature of the human family and the common values we all share.
