Nuclear guardrails are gone, and no one in power seems to care. In Part One of a conversation with Barry Stevens and Globe and Mail columnist Doug Saunders, Lloyd Axworthy — the former Canadian Foreign Minister who led the campaign to ban landmines — traces how the memory of nuclear danger has faded even as more countries foolishly flirt with joining the club.
