On the recordSeptember 29, 2006
if I could make just one last comment in support of what the gentleman is saying, I am sure many are familiar that in the Hindu religion Brahma, the Creator; and Vishnu, the Preserver; and Shiva, the Destroyer exist simultaneously and represent the multiplicity of God. We here are called upon to determine which of the principles, Creator, Preserver or Destroyer, shall work through each of us. As the gentleman from Oregon says, if we continue to pursue nuclear proliferation as embodied in the nuclear agreement with India, we will be open to the principles of destruction. At this moment when world tensions are rising and violence is cycling higher, we need to take the direction of preserving the peace and creating a new opening through the abolition of all nuclear weapons. Again, I want to thank my friend from Oregon for raising this point at this propitious moment.
