Obama Seeks Nuclear Arms Cuts

After the Korean missile test, President Obama said that even though the threat of nuclear war has gone down, the risk of attack has gone up. “Black Market trade in nuclear secrets and nuclear materials abound. The technology to build a bomb has spread.”
The President of the free world said that his administration will reduce the role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy. He believes that if America shows that is willing to decrease its nuclear power, others will follow.
President Obama also said that too few resources have been committed to developing a strategy to stop terrorist groups, like Al Qaeda, from acquiring nuclear weapons.

I think Obama's got the right idea. When people get scared, they try to do anything they can to arm themselves so they are well prepared for anything, and in this day and age, with all the terrorist problems, fear is widespread. If Obama is willing to reduce the nuclear weapons in our arsenal, maybe others will start to feel safer and get rid of theirs as well.
