'I FAU Free Press · July 19, . 95 Nuclear Age Reaches Mid-Life Crisis Fifty years ago this last Monday, the nuclear age dawned with the first ntC? mic bomb test at Trinity Site, New Mexico. In fifty years the world has drawn nearly unanimous conclusions: nuclear weapons will never serve a sane purpose; the fission process is extremely dangerous to the health and safety of all known li fe fo rms; there would be no winners of a nuclear war -only losers. International agreements regarding the li mitations of nuclear testing have widened in scope over the last thirty yea rs, and enforcement mechanisms have grown the teeth necessa ry to compel compliance. The primary rationale for declaring war in the 1990's has been to deter nations from obtaining nuclear wea pons. This rationale was used to justify the Persian Gul f War as well as last year's th reats of war with Korea. Essentially, the nuclear club has, for the most part, decided to get off the death trip. Nevertheless, there are still some nut cases who resist all world efforts to curb the development of nuclear weapons systems and their contin ued testing. France plans to explode eight nuclear devices in the South Pacific between September of this year and next May. This week, under the leadership of Conservative President Jacques Chi rac, France violently reaffirmed its commi tment to the extension of the nuclear arms race. French commandos raided the Green peace "Rainbow Warrior II" when it entered French waters of the South Pacific Island of Moruroa Atoll. The crew of the Rainbow Warrior were engaging in a peaceful demonstration when In this Issue: their ship was rammed, boarded by commandos, and driven from the vessel with ave you ever gone to return a textbook that originally teargas.
