A group of Republican Senators, led by Jon Kyle (R-AZ), has been trying to block ratification of the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). The treaty would reduce U.S. and Russian weapons stockpiles and provide protocols for ongoing verification of compliance.
Some right-wing media have also joined the anti-START chorus.
I guess they miss the dangerous excitement of the Cold War.
Or maybe they figure we don't need START since we've got Sarah Palin. After all, she can see Russia from her house, so she can keep an eye on their nukes.
