What do people think about nuclear weapons?

We're interested in what you think about nuclear weapons and would like to conduct a survey to find out.

Lots of people have said that the public, and particularly young people, don't see nuclear weapons as an important issue right now. Since the end of the Cold War interest has declined - ban the bomb groups used to attract huge numbers of people to their rallies.

Here's a survey the International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons made. Are there any other questions you think we should ask in our survey?

Perhaps some people my sort of age (early 20s) and younger don't think nuclear weapons are important as they don't really remember the Cold War and the fear it caused?

I really don't want to get back to that ever-present sense of dread. This is why non-proliferation and disarmament are so important right NOW. Obama's desire for a world free of nuclear weapons is an excellent springboard for the nuclear non-proliferation review conference next year.
