Why not agree that the posession and development of WMD should be a crime against humanity, to which the administration of any nation possessing or developing WMD should be held liable?
Well, that sounds reasonable. "Who is gonna enforce it" seems to be the question. It would have to be a nation with WMD, huh? Or else a supranational body with armed enforcement agencies. How would that work?

Overall, I'd say Sasha's argument seems more reasonable. Why not just say every nation has a right to decide how to defend themselves? I like Kucinich's idea: A Cabinet level Department of Peace.
