Text of Interview

Greenwood: I think that sometimes it gets summarized in that in the "mega-conflict" of the Cold War was over, but the world is not a safer place. It is not a safer place for two reasons: one, the set of reasons that David just enumerated that has to do with the availability of weapons of mass destruction, the ability to develop new weapons of mass destruction that are not so easily tracked by our old methods of surveillance, and then on top of that, the restructuring of the world's economy and the world's democracy has resulted in some of these weapons being in the hands of individuals as opposed to states which makes it much more difficult.
