Of course, it is irrational for those whose ultimate objective is a nuclear-weapons-free world to support anything but the strongest non-proliferation measures. But bloody-mindedness is a natural and inevitable reaction when leaders see double standards – “my security concerns justify nuclear weapons, but yours do not” – at work on this scale.
当然，对于以无核武器的世界为终极目标的人来说，支持除最强不扩散措施之外的任何东西都是不合理的。但当领导人看到双重标准——“我的安全担忧需要核武器，你的不需要”——如此盛行时，他们就会采取一眼对眼的态度。
