B. Need

1. Misconceptions on nuclear weapons

-Antinuclear advocates exaggerate the dangers of plutonium. After all, the substance is easily safeguarded because it's produced in very small quantities.

-Nuclear power is a deeply technical issue that only well-informed scientists, in that specific field, can understand and the majority of such people support nuclear power.

-It's impossible to have a risk-free society. Consequently the benefits of an action must be weighed against its hazards and nuclear power's benefits outweigh its risks.

4. Clarifications

On America being a rogue state:

-America could have been a rogue state itself but seems to have proven to the European nations that its standpoint did not prevent its playing a normal role in the world community.

-America is productively involved in international affairs, and issues surrounding democracy, human rights, maintaining stability, and opposing aggression.

-A rogue state is not just a country whose interests clash with the United States, but one that also jeopardizes the international order.

-Since a rogue regime does not respond to normal diplomatic measures-for example, a rogue will misinterpret signals or refuse to stop systematic subversion and terrorism-confidence- building or conflict-avoidance methods do not work. Other, harsher measures and attitudes are needed. These mechanisms do not necessarily involve war, unless the rogue state takes a specific step which makes such an outcome unavoidable.
