William J. Perry (continued from previous page)

was different, evoking a broader response with a tinge of possibility. “The first difference was the Cold War had ended. It was over,� Perry said. During the Cold War, advocating nuclear disarmament “did not get serious attention.� “Second, and I think this is an important point, was that the four names on that OpEd were all people who had participated in the development of the weapons themselves or in the policies controlling those weapons,� he said. “And so it cast a different light on the recommendation. “It was hard for the people opposed us to point to the four of us and say, ‘They don’t know what they are talking about,’ or ‘They are just theoretical people.’ All of us had dealt with the practical issues of national security. So that, I think, made a difference.� But there are still many credible doubters, even among those with whom Perry is professionally and personally close. “There are serious people who have listened to these arguments and have rejected them, and I understand that,� he acknowledged. But in Perry’s view, they do not “adequately face what I think is a very real prospect that we are drifting towards the use of nuclear weapons or even a nuclear war. It seems to me that prospect is getting more likely each year in the last few decades. “So, it’s not just the matter of a terrorist getting a nuclear bomb, although that’s probably (the) No. 1 worry, but also the possibility of a nuclear war starting. The probability of that happening is not fully recognized or understood by most people. And the horror of such a result is not fully understood by most people. Part of our mission is to try to make people face those two realities.�

Reserve officer Second Lieutenant William Perry at Fort Lewis, Wash., in the early 1950s, not long after earning his commission while attending Stanford. This is not to say Perry believes the United States can simply do away with its nuclear arsenal. He is not a unilateralist; he is an activist who believes caution does not equate to inaction or that rigid adherence to a strategy is sensible in the future because it worked in the past. It was Perry who chaired the 2009 Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States. Its final report opened with this statement: “U.S. nuclear strategy begins with the central dilemma that nuclear weapons are both the greatest potential threat to our way of life and important guarantors of U.S. security.� That dilemma will face the world for at least another decade, Perry
