New START Shouldn’t Be Stopped

Michael O’Hanlon argues that Republican senators should join Democrats in supporting the U.S.-Russia New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START). O’Hanlon writes that the treaty warrants the 85 or more votes that arms-control pacts have often received in the past, and that the GOP should not obstruct the treaty based on political strategy aimed at recovering the Senate and the White House in 2012.
