Nuclear weapon free zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East/World? What about that?

Nuclear weapon free zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East/World? What about that?

Friends, we must work together to prevent a catastrophe. We must stop the next Middle East war before it starts.

The US government must turn over to the United Nations the primary responsibility for resolving the deepening crisis in Iraq, and, immediately thereafter, withdraw US forces from the country.

We must also prevail upon the Israelis to sign the Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) and open all of their nuclear sites to IAEA inspectors.

Only then can serious talks begin with Iran and other states to establish a nuclear weapon free zone (NWFZ) in the Mid East "" so essential to the region’s long-term peace and security.
