Dr. Helen Caldicott defined the style of the Reagan era as paranoid, haunted by the threat of a nuclear war. Has the nuclear threat decreased? Dr. Caldicott joins us today to talk about her continuing concerns about nukes and proliferation. We also get a different take from an MIT professor who is a lot less concerned; and thinks the U.S. can live with a nuclear Iran. Call in and share your thoughts about a nuclear weaponized future.Guests:
