In an era when our destiny is shared, power is no longer a zero-sum game. No one nation can or should try to dominate another nation. No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed. No balance of power among nations will hold. The traditional divisions between nations of the South and the North make no sense in an interconnected world; nor do alignments of nations rooted in the cleavages of a long-gone Cold War. I just threw all my guns in the lake cause there ain't no bad people out there!

Today, let me put forward four pillars that I believe are fundamental to the future that we want for our children: non-proliferation and disarmament; the promotion of peace and security; the preservation of our planet; and a global economy that advances opportunity for all people.


First, we must stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and seek the goal of a world without them. This institution was founded at the dawn of the atomic age, in part because man's capacity to kill had to be contained.[/B] For decades, we averted disaster, even under the shadow of a superpower stand-off. But today, the threat of proliferation is growing in scope and complexity. If we fail to act, we will invite nuclear arms races in every region, and the prospect of wars and acts of terror on a scale that we can hardly imagine. If we throw ours out they will too! They are just scared and need assurances from us. It's just confusion that we will attack them.


A fragile consensus stands in the way of this frightening outcome, and that is the basic bargain that shapes the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It says that all nations have the right to peaceful nuclear energy; that nations with nuclear weapons have a responsibility to move toward disarmament; and those without them have the responsibility to forsake them. The next 12 months could be pivotal in determining whether this compact will be strengthened or will slowly dissolve.


We will complete a Nuclear Posture Review that opens the door to deeper cuts and reduces the role of nuclear weapons. And we will call upon countries to begin negotiations in January on a treaty to end the production of fissile material for weapons.


Now is the time for all of us to do our part. Growth will not be sustained or shared unless all nations embrace their responsibilities. And that means that wealthy nations must open their markets to more goods and extend a hand to those with less, while reforming international institutions to give more nations a greater voice.Yep we need more foreign made stuff; it's not like we have enough stuff made eleswhere! With high unemployment!. And developing nations must root out the corruption that is an obstacle to progress — for opportunity cannot thrive where individuals are oppressed and business have to pay bribes. That is why we support honest police and independent judges; civil society and a vibrant private sector."Piece of Cake" No problem it can be fixed! Our goal is simple: a global economy in which growth is sustained, and opportunity is available to all.

NK and Iran must be smiling.. And A-Jad wants a war of huge proportions so that the 12th imam can rise from a well or something and start a reign of Islam over the world.
No THOSE countries will NOT give up their Nukes but ofcourse, the USA will, you know to set the Example. This is not a war GAME we are playing on a Nintendo. This is he REAL world. How very very NAIVE and stupid too.

If you don't have a deterrent and they know it; Guess what? For good or worse the genie has long been out of the bottle. Besides, based on at least my beliefs and the last I checked, the one who can make it happen has not yet come back. from say... 2009 years ago.

Breaking News "http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9ATQQRO0&show_article=1" or go to "www.drudgereport.com/""New UN resolution aims at nuclear-free world" Yes...Nuclear-Free World means the USA!
It is a naive, idiotic pipedream.

He was the best of the best during my lifetime.

Carter, the worse of the worse with Obama coming in at a fast second.

“A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. The only value in our two nations possessing nuclear weapons is to make sure they will never be used. But then would it not be better to do away with them entirely?”

quote:

“[M]y dream is to see the day when nuclear weapons will be banished from the face of the Earth.”

quote:

Ronald Reagan called for the abolishment of "all nuclear weapons," which he considered to be "totally irrational, totally inhumane, good for nothing but killing, possibly destructive of life on earth and civilization."

quote:

“We seek the total elimination one day of nuclear weapons from the face of the Earth.”

How about this one:

“[M]y dream is to see the day when nuclear weapons will be banished from the face of the Earth.”

Then there's this one from a Wall Street Journal article written by Sam Nunn, Henry Kissinger, William Perry, and George Shultz:

quote:

Ronald Reagan called for the abolishment of "all nuclear weapons," which he considered to be "totally irrational, totally inhumane, good for nothing but killing, possibly destructive of life on earth and civilization."

This little bit of panty-waistedness comes from Reagan's 1985 inaugural speech:

quote:

“We seek the total elimination one day of nuclear weapons from the face of the Earth.”

So how do you like him now? Or is it ok to say that if you're Reagan, but dangerous to say that if you're Obama?

Reagan only had to attend to the Cold War. It's a bit different now throughout the world isn't it?
