HOT TOPIC: A most explosive issue

Ridding all nations of nuclear weapons creates a safer world, or so the prevailing logic goes. Now comes Jonathan Tepperman in a recent Newsweek essay maintaining the opposite. He points to the 64 year abstinence since Nagasaki of even non-nuclear wars between nations capable of waging them.

Counterintuitive as it appears the argument that nukes strike such fear they actually induce deterrence may have validity.

UPP views the problem for many peace initiatives as overcoming the inertia of indifference. By the same token, we have witnessed how controversy can work to elevate awareness for causes that may otherwise be dismissed or ignored. So, consider a website that draws large numbers into debate over critical social issues, challenges them to participate in making a change, and recognizes their efforts in doing so.

UPP doesn’t give answers. It asks for them. Then it analyzes measures and reports results in the form of organic referendums for social reforms. The effect of bringing diverse ideas into a single arena accelerates networking and contributes to the building of internet communities. This is our groundbreaking design for a peace engine. UPP believes it can produce a lasting impact in the quest for civilization’s most elusive prize of all: PEACE.
