Having 1500 or 15000 or 150,000 nukes is not going to stop
Al Queda from detonating nukes in multiple US port cities in the not to distant future. It presently costs 6-7 billion a year to maintain the US nuclear arsenal. Freeing up a few billion by reducing the arsenal and using that money to focus on the threat posed by terrorists with nukes makes much more sense to me. Also I think it makes more sense to identify and tag the fissionable material currently in existance and make if the policy if a particular country's fissionable material is involved in an attack on the US its the same as an attack by that country and we will retaliate.
