My greatest concern is that the emergence of this technology without the appropriate public attention and international controls could lead to an unstable arms race.

I'm not an expert on the arms race.

Sir Edward Grey echoed this: More than one true thing may be said about the causes of the war, but the statement that comprises most truth is that militarism and the armaments inseparable from it made war inevitable. Armaments were intended to produce a sense of security in each nation – that was the justification put forward in defence of them. What they really did was to produce fear in everybody.

If you go on with this nuclear arms race, all you are going to do is make the rubble bounce.

Arms control is by definition a rejection of disarmament.

I think that Iran with a nuclear weapon is extremely destabilizing. I think it could precipitate a nuclear arms race in the region.
