1.)“Nuclear Weapons.” //The New York Times//. N.p., 22 Dec. 2010. Web. 10 May 2011. 
 * This author of this article takes no bias and goes on to discuss different treaties that have been created in the past few years including New Start, a treaty, created by President Barack Obama and the president of Russia, that would pare back the two countries nuclear arsenals within the next seven years. One of the main arguments in this article is that the fight against nuclear weapons is an uphill battle because it seems that no matter what countries do to stop the spread of nuclear weapons countries will still find way in which to acquire them. The journalist responsible for this article specializes in this specific field, the events regarding nuclear weapons and warfare. In this news article the author cites different treaty's that have been made to halt or at least slow the spread of nuclear weapons and the steps that other leaders have taken to try and combat the presence of nuclear weapons. I feel that the topic has been adequately addressed in this article. The author of this article, being a journalist, takes no bias but just gives events that have gone on in recent years to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. This source was helpful to my research because it gave me events and treaty's to look in to that i had not known of before. This source supports my argument by showing hoe much world leaders wish to get rid of nuclear weapons to stop the threat of nuclear war.
