Bruce Roth, a native of Dallas, Texas, was an Eagle Scout and licensed amateur radio operator as a youth. He graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1971, and entered the insurance business following college. Upon receiving a Master of Science in Financial Services degree in 1980, he expanded the scope of his practice to include financial planning and investments. Bruce is president of Roth & Associates, Inc., an employee benefits brokerage and consulting firm in Atlanta, and president of Coordinated Capital Corporation, a Registered Investment Advisor. He holds numerous professional designations, including CLU (Chartered Life Underwriter), ChFC (Chartered Financial Consultant), RHU (Registered Health Underwriter), and REBC (Registered Employee Benefit Consultant). He has presented continuing education lectures for attorneys, accountants, and trust officers on advanced insurance topics, and he has been published in Business Insurance. Bruce lives in Atlanta with his wife Karen, a nurse, and his daughter Natalie, a college student. His hobbies are collecting antique art and books, but his passions are opera, barbeque, and foreign policy. He serves on the Board of Directors of The Atlanta Opera. Although Bruce’s formal academic training and professional experience are in areas outside the scope of nuclear weapons, history, war, anthropology, psychology, law, and political science, his passion for this subject has inspired him to study these areas in order to find the answers to these questions: Is mankind becoming less warlike or more warlike? Why don’t enlightened men control their aggressive tendency that leads to violence? Why do people turn away from confronting these vital issues of WMDs, genocide, and terrorism? Why have our methods of preventing war and maintaining peace failed to do so? Why can’t the UN preserve world order? How can dictators and despots perpetrate inhumane acts and genocide without being brought swiftly to international justice? If people do not have the legal right to resort to violence in order to protect their interests, why do nations have the right to use violence when protecting their national interests? Can terrorism be fought without a war? Why do civil wars rage without international intervention? Is there a more effective system of international justice?
