Maybe Four Senior Statesmen?

Therefore, as IPPNW, we should consider urgently the necessity to find an expression not diplomatically offensive towards “the four”. Even if american security is the main reason of that article, we can stress that, for the first time, the american security’s reasons are the same of the mankind’s security. Therefore I suggest to change the expression “Gang of Four” in “Four Americans”, to leave to all of us the possibility to develop towards the goal of global nuclear disarmament their points of view starting again, after 20 years, by Gorbaciov’s and Reagan’s personal opinions.
