I started ArmsControlWonk.com for inchoate reasons. Over time, I've constructed an elaborate post-hoc rationalization for the site focusing on four goals:

1. To report items of interest to the arms control community that wouldn't make it into the New York Times (i.e. get your NFIRE fix).
2. Place arms control related developments into context and correct lousy reporting.
3. To explore the foundations of arms control and other cooperative security strategies.
4. Finally, to amuse myself and others.

Toward that end, I have asked Paul Kerr, a Research Analyst at the Arms Control Association, to add his talents when he has the time. He has generously agreed and the site is better for it.

With a second blogger, I should state that the opinions expressed here are usually our own and never those of our respective employers, Harvard University or the Arms Control Association.
