Alistair Miller warns that using tactical nuclear weapons (such as the low-yield 'bunker buster' bombs) in the fight against terrorism could alienate the U.S. from the rest of the world and spark a new wave of terrorism.

Alistair Millar warns that the potential for civilian casualties even by low-yield, earth-penetrating nuclear weapons would be enormous. He cautions that attempts to find a "usable" role for nuclear weapons will undermine nonproliferation goals.

Alistair Millar argues that the U.S. should pursue greater transparency in tactical stockpiles and reductions of tactical nuclear weapons as they are a "more urgent concern from a proliferation standpoint" than strategic nuclear weapons.
