So, what sort of policy will maintain and build peace? Do the countries now seeking to acquire nukes and wmd do so because they feel threatened by the current posessors of that technology?
Or do they intend to threaten and attack others?
Kellog-Briand Treaty type arrangements don't seem to do much good. But treaties are legally binding even if not well enforced, and provide a basis on which to use measures to verify compliance and so on.
What works? Any thoughts?

...my guess:
Disseminating moral repairs for cultural flaws to whole populations that live under power-hungry despots might do it. National pride should be based on good deeds--not imaginings of inherent superiority or physical power to expand into becoming empires.
But that wasn't helpful toward a quick solution, was it.
