Morality play
Editor:
Ernest Wiggins, in his letter of Jan.
31 ("Some Conflicts Produce No
Winners") fails to grasp the im
plications of his position that a
"balance (of) the equation" requires
disconcern for all aspects of an issue.
I refer specifically to his statement
that "morality has little to do with
nuclear weapons."
Prima facie, it appears that when
dealing with an issue involving
choice, such as the deployment of
nuclear weapons, a consideration of
the normative aspects of the question
is required of the decision-maker. If

be, then moral concern is and must be
the foundation of such a decision; if
there is no choice, then there is no
free will, and we are acting as
automated parts of a determined
history.

sake of "rebuilding our weapons
arsenal" suggests some intention, if
