criticism Herfried Münkler nuclear theses

Titled " nuclear weapons deter jihadists " published" Spiegel Online "(25.06.08) an interview with the teaching at the Humboldt University of Berlin History Prof. Herfried Münkler. The interview contains, among other things, and just passed the following propositions: first

A world without nuclear weapons, as proposed by Obama, McCain and considered by the former U.S. Secretary Henry Kissinger and George Shultz is required Münkler considers "realpolitik very unlikely" because the fear of nuclear powers was too great, one of them will not keep it secret and then will "Lord of the world" .

Kissinger, Shultz, McCain, Obama no real politician? Mr Münkler seem like it, but "realpolitik" is the presumption that if a nuclear waiver agreement is on the way, only including effective control mechanisms.

second A nuclear-free world is also unrealistic because there are a number of countries that could at any time secretly developing nuclear weapons.

Münkler fails to recognize that a control scenario would apply globally and across each state, ie the principle of universality of membership rather than the principle of the United Nations and NPT was agreed.

that depend on this system change, especially from the common will of the United States, Russia and China would, in the truest sense of the word "real politics", because such a joint resolution power could resist, at least at the present time no other state - and would not it, for the majority of the United Nations would support it.

The membership principle can always have only preparatory function, but would go areas maintained as long as you are not the universal principle through struggles.

Münkler the historian should be aware that all legal development was not dependent on whether the last villain confesses insight, but on whether the political forces were sufficient to make a law of general application.

third Münkler claims that Russia and China, nuclear weapons are interested in freedom, because then the conventional superiority of the United States will outweigh.

, this theory is as realistic as fatalistic, because in fact hardly anything is likely to change for the better, if only arguments for the worse in the balance . Come
Münkler clearly assumes that the U.S. will not be willing to abide by the Charter of the United Nations and to refrain from acts of vigilantism, bow to the veto of the other powers.

This could prove to be actually the other nuclear powers as an obstacle to global nuclear abandonment, should it not yet, as the resulting risks dr nuclear weapons proliferation would be from the existing nuclear weapons greatly underestimated and weigh too heavy to the security policy on the nuclear based on deterrence.

It is therefore important that the U.S. develop responsible means to do so, by their military Possibilities are not against the will of Russia to make use of China.
Modern security policy should be based on verifiable security guarantees, not on deterrence and military superiority, because the latter has, in the extreme result, which also Münkel in his essay "The Transformation of War. From symmetry to asymmetry to some extent counter-terrorism analysis reproduces.

4th On the question of whether we in Germany still need nuclear weapons, responding Münkler: "For political reasons: yes For operational reasons:.. No If not we be willing to store these weapons in Germany, we are no longer the finger with the trigger may have. This may not be bad. But the decisive factor is that we will not lift a finger over the safety lever, have also no longer have influence, to prevent a nuclear attack. Therefore should remain the weapons. "

Apparently goes Münkler assume that the" nuclear sharing "is so broad that" we the finger on the trigger "would have. Then he would be better informed than" we "is, for general assumed that the nuclear sharing while West German assistance, but no power is available

"For political reasons, yes.", says Mr Münkler for the retention of nuclear weapons in Germany and is apparently in the belief that international obligations are not political reasons, because the Federal Republic of Germany signed the NPT on 28/11/1969.

5th Münkler keeps the debate about the security shortcomings of European nuclear weapons camp for "launched" because the U.S. had a strong interest to shift investments to accommodate their nuclear weapons to the allies.

The fact that the investigation by the Pentagon at the behest of the U.S. Congress was conducted after it was revealed that there had been accidental nuclear technology sales to the Taiwan, transport supposedly secure nuclear weapons on U.S. territory, to documentation problems in the nuclear weapons inventory, all the first time has nothing to do with the provision invoked by Münkler financial interest, but with decidedly security interests to prevent unintended use of nuclear weapons. Especially a historian should be known and to assess such history.

6th Münkler speculates that jihadists were deter nuclear weapons. Their sacrifice is no different from the soldier's sacrifice type-safe, take one's own death in favor of the survival of others into account.

Maybe, although the thing with the soldier's sacrifice complex and different in most cases>> www.inidia.de / heldenmythos.htm

It does, however, in nuclear weapons not the question of soldiers' sacrifice, as soldiers in matters of war and peace, usually have little say.
The question is whether the results can politicians be deterred by nuclear weapons, and if the historian Münkler can not think of many examples, how many politicians any compassion for the survival interests of others was lost, then its deterrent certainty would be gone and possibly more insight to a regime the development and provision of nuclear weapons exclude.

Any deterrent that works always, at all only when a sense of responsibility would rest at least resistant, while each deterrence fail, once someone believes to have "nothing to lose" .

7th Münkler had claimed that the "religious intensity," "heroic potential," and sacrifice in the developed world compared to, for example, Islamic countries had diminished and was compensated for by technological superiority, and be.

Apart from the resonant argument in such arrogance that tends to make no distinction between feasibility and legality, Münkler recognizes that the likelihood of terrorist Access to nuclear weapons-grade material is growing, but he is nevertheless on the technological edge as a security doctrine.

Logically, however, is if in the grow-along skills on the part of the technology defeated a gradual paradigm shift would conclude:
renunciation of nuclear weapons privilege against a global control system for nuclear weapons ban.
And "real politics" can be such a contract rather close from a position of strength as free of nuclear weapons possession, but the circle of nuclear powers is too great, would complicate that possibility.

8th Münkler calls in the event that the State dissolve Pakistan: "You have to try to have the parts of the Pakistani army, access to nuclear weapons, be structured so that they move at the moment of disintegration of the state, along with their skills in either Russian, American or Chinese custody."

Münkler seems from the military in charge of rationality so convinced that they can withstand the ideological confusion, may fall into the policy and country, and would then proceed to "care" of other states? Well, if that not even "very unlikely" too risky and hopes are.

The real politicians in Washington are in any further for since the November 19, 2007 is known that the U.S. already gave since 2005 with more than 100 million U.S. $ of the Pakistani government to secure nuclear weapons and have probably contingency plans in the drawer. That sounds reassuring for some people, on the other hand, it violates the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, because the U.S. should Pakistan do not grant such relief, but would first ensure that Pakistan join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

What is good is not right, not for the security policy, but only deepens the rift between the present and future litigants.
The only realistic alternative is that the nuclear weapon states fulfill their obligations under article 6 NPT and bring to a universal ban on nuclear weapons on the way - ban on nuclear weapons.

affectation of dealing with the Left Party and Nazi comparisons

Ulla Jelpke (BT-members of the party "The Left") earns for its criticism of the planned reform BKA plenty outrage. Jelpke had said: ". what's being created is secret investigating state police"

Such criticism is true, because who the BKA continually expands the powers of investigation, without the affected citizens to give legal defense, creates a "secret State police investigating . It also change the law and judges reservations nothing if not later than after investigation, the parties to limit the scope and results of investigations should be informed.

It is unfortunate that it comes in the recent debate exclusively on the pros and cons of exektutiven methods / permits, but not for the need for simultaneous development of civil rights.

The accusation that Jelpke criticism, the BKA with the Gestapo see, besides mock even the victims of the NS, despite warnings against secret police Nazi practices are the exact opposite is much more an imposition than if Jelpke actually reform ns-totalitarian subjects had assumed.

Hello Mr. Bosbach,

do you do with criticism of Nazi comparisons attention. Therefore I ask you three questions: first
Was your family in Nazi membership or Nazi spying ensnared?
second Spitz Elten you for the constitutional protection, as do many of your party-mates?
third How can the parties verify that the spy does not lie when there are at least not after the expiration of deadlines, access to the file right?

Antitotalitarische rhetoric is not credible to me, if the state as a lawyer and executive of the society gets more and more rights, but not go along the same civil rights, just to access and appeal in their own interests.

It can not and sufficient enough for me not to be well represented by privacy advocates and judges, parliamentary or enforcement if the parties are denied to know anything, that's about it.

who ousted the principal in his affairs, is to initiate a guardianship proceedings but not act as if he wanted to represent him.

paradoxical logic: "McCain better for Russia than Obama"?

disagreement

U.S. presidential campaign: McCain better for Russia than Obama and Clinton

MOSCOW, 22 May (RIA Novosti). Republican presidential candidate John McCain, for a more stable and uses predictable Russia policy, for Russia would be a better choice than his Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama. This opinion expressed

Alexander Konovalov, head of the Institute for Strategic Studies. "I am definitely for McCain," the expert said in an interview with RIA Novosti. Russia must not be loved by America, but it needs a predictable opponents. "McCain does not have any particular sympathy for Russia, but he has predictability and stability."

also have a Republican president has an advantage over a Democrat. "He should in fact prove not every day that he has not sold out to the Communists, "said Konovalov. Because no doubt the Americans to the Republicans, McCain would have as president more latitude in the design of the Russian policy.

In Russia have to always have the Democratic candidate in the U.S. the thumb hold. "We were thrilled by John F. Kennedy, but to get its Cuban missile crisis. With the Republican hardliner Richard Nixon, however, we have concluded that the first contracts for strategic disarmament. "

Under President Jimmy Carter (Democrat) has broken down the entire system of arms control, said Konovalov." Then came Ronald Reagan, the Soviet Union "the kingdom of evil called ". With whom we have signed real deal on nuclear disarmament. "

Moreover, presidential candidate McCain veteran of the Vietnam War." If we know what war is, it can be do not want. "

COMMENT

Konowalows assessment initially sounds plausible, especially since the patriotism argument stands and because of the historical references, but first they are only part of the story and 2 already is downright wrong

an example. Konovalov wrong, because not Kennedy "gave" the Cuba crisis, but the continued pursuit of the two superpowers, each other to move with medium-range missiles on the fur - The U.S. with missile deployment in Turkey, Russia with the missile deployment in Cuba.

And what are hard-liners "predictable"? Alone in the agitation and militancy prone to self-righteousness. Or is "predictability" is his characteristic that someone has to make no change of course capable of? - Then the man on Cuba would have failed because it needed the final negotiating dynamics of a Kennedy and Khrushchev to the "turnaround".

And who brought the politics out of their antagonism? It was Willy Brandt's Ostpolitik and West Gorbachev's policy, which cut through the "Iron Curtain" with diplomacy and treaties, East and West economically and politically linked.

There were diplomatic leaders who directed the "Cold War" with the concept of "peaceful coexistence" overcame. And the "peaceful coexistence" was overcome, proved to be awakening to "peaceful cooperation."

This development would be with people who observe each other only through rifle scopes and from the other side just to talk to as an "evil empire" was did not create.

The fundamental changes for the better could obtain only diplomatic politician, while the hardliners, so numerous and periodically they were in power, and ultimately mitlächeln just had to sign and could.

Konovalov would quite possibly that McCain was "better for Putin's truce," but "better for Russia" is thus not synonymous. With Obama as U.S. president, however, "threatens" the whole world :-), that is no longer the policy of mere counter-sufficient.

Putin is no fool. And Medvedev not. The two can keep up with that, but you will have to motivate them. And this may work only if either the NATO dissolves or far enough open for Russia.

Israel threatens Iran with military strike völkerrechtswidrigem

The Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz announced to the daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth "to: "If Iran continues its program to develop nuclear weapons to attack us."

The Israeli government seems to frequent statements Tehran's nothing to give, according to the Iranian nuclear program, pursuing a purely civilian purposes and the change of heart is said that nuclear weapons are for reasonable States is not an option, because at least until 2003, researching the mullahs' regime in terms of nuclear weapons TweakPC, but then they turned to an assessment of the CIA>> (message v. 04/12/2007).

Should Israel have exclusive knowledge about Iran's nuclear program, it would be forwarded to the United Nations, to examine it and take the necessary countermeasures. Actually, this also IAEA would be responsible to their member of Israel is still not. In the absence of evidence
Israel must allow government officials as Mofaz Such claims and proclaim it as suspicious.

In no case, however, may again be performed with a war of mere suspicion, the State shall strive to be attacked by nuclear weapons. There is a lack of legal basis, and for the lack of any government is partly responsible, of the United Nations, the letztinstanzielle denies justice and monopoly of power, particularly as the Israeli government is doing and constantly promoted the local population.

Mofaz justified his power threat with the inefficiency of the existing sanctions policy, which he was right, because Iran refuses to express the Security Council resolutions, it does not explicitly recognize. The Iran situation is so clearly contrary to international law as well at resolutions of disapproval is compliance with international law and required alternative.

But, again resulting from any such international law violations for Israel, no permits for vigilante justice. If Israel carries out such

military strike to be Bush, Merkel and other politicians of Israel "to urge restraint," but also "full solidarity" show. The effect of such policies is devastating, because it is in its double standards of international law only to fit to cast the anti-Israeli and anti-Western extremism gasoline on the fire.

Mofaz has now threatened to break a world public international law and Prime Minister Olmert is on a state visit to the United States. It takes strong words against vigilantism.

On 24 June should be held in Berlin a Middle East conference. Of these may Merkel, Steinmeier & Co. advertising effects for the "growing importance of Germany only" hope, but for the Middle East issue, which must also be required concessions from Israel, is and will remain in Berlin by the Nazis worn in the long run the wrong place. Cairo would be better. Or even Jerusalem, where it needs a conference room - as a direct building over the fatal line of demarcation of the Middle East conflict. And we should pay.

DGAP against cluster bombs, cluster any disarmament agreement

DGAPstandpunkt: Hot Air: Why the cluster bomb ban by Dublin is not a success

The ban on cluster bombs, according to the Foreign Office a "milestone in the development of international humanitarian law". The real benefit of such a form of legalization is generally overestimated.
A comparison with the model for success known as the Ottawa Treaty banning anti-personnel mines shows that actual progress falls short of expectations. In view of the expected effects is the decision of a cluster bomb ban at the Dublin conference last week, a sham. The ban is representative of the failure of traditional multilateralism and to the moral self-righteousness of European countries. A closer examination of the progress in Ireland "solution" to the cluster bomb problem can only come to the conclusion that real progress of the Contractor. press release>> more

criticism of David Bosold

is true that the contract has weaknesses, true is that such Contracts under the United Nations greater value, true is that NGOs tend to overestimate themselves, rightly, that without signing the contract, the cluster bombs, the main users less value.

Not Applicable would be from these and other shortcomings, the conclusion that the contract was no progress or standing for the "failure of traditional multilateralism," for multilateralism differs from the consensus, does not require unanimous agreement, also typically not those who, for reasons its particular strength from unilateralism to promise more, so typically does not inspire: multilateralism are.

Thus does the positive assessment of the Foreign Office, especially as "a milestone" means that there are to do. - The participation of Germany in this agreement is correct.
