...idea that nuclear weapons are safe only in the hands of Americans and their European cousins and a danger to the rest of the world is not only patronizing but also racist. If the U.S. and its friends can be trusted with nuclear weapons, why not any other country? The only way to ensure universal nuclear disarmament is for all countries to renounce and destroy the nuclear weapons they have acquired. As long as some have them, others will try to acquire them.

...through which thieves could tap off fuel. The leaking pipeline had attracted local villagers who were filling containers when it blew. Nigeria's Red Cross said that the explosion ignited hundreds of cans full of fuel. Yet incidents like last week's tragedy are not the greatest danger to Nigeria's oil industry.

Moretti says that too often Berlusconi's opponents focused on his "comic and cabaret" moments. "He's never made me laugh," says Moretti. "I wanted to emphasize the danger.

"It was a huge slap in the face," says Nott, 20. "They don't hand out this letter that says, 'We want you to get help.' What it says is, 'You've been suspended; you've been barred from campus.'" The letter went on to explain...
...girls in Iraq. Someone has rightly said that war has no winners, only losers. And perhaps the biggest losers in Iraq for the moment are its girls. Sexual exploitation causes not just physical trauma; there is mental anguish as well. When disowned by their families, such girls are in danger of committing suicide or living the life of a prostitute. The Iraqi government should make it a priority to curb the evil of sex trafficking and rehabilitate its victims. SUNIL KUMAR KUMAWAT Sanganer, India
