“The real solution is not Star Wars but a policy of persuasive diplomacy, negotiations and economic incentives. ‘States of concern’ should receive the message that developing missiles and nuclear, chemical and biological weapons will simply not meet their security concerns; rather they would make them worse.

This approach must be coupled by determined negotiations by all nations to implement controls on ballistic missile technology and to outlaw the development, production and stockpiling of any nuclear, chemical or biological warheads.
