N-proliferation - Garvin's vision for solution: make it unpleasant for folks who want n-weapons

But if that doesn't work, says Garwin, the former arms control adviser, there's always the threat of force. He wants to put more teeth into the IAEA and decide what the consequences would be for nations that go back on their word not to make nuclear weapons.

They would include war by the Security Council or a coalition of many states.

"The way you solve the problem is to put your money and your brains where your mouth is. And you solve it in a multilateral way. And you make it unpleasant for people who want to get nuclear weapons."
