Little Green Footballs reported that Sen. Barack Obama will get rid of nuclear weapons by making sure that the United States sets the example in complying with nonproliferation treaties.
Two goals of his administration would be to secure all loose nuclear material during his first term and to rid the world of nuclear weapons, Obama told an audience before a roundtable discussion at Purdue University.
Obama said adhering to nonproliferation treaties would put pressure on nations such as North Korea and Iran.

The Iranians are working towards nuclear weapons. Can you blame them?
It is a defensive move. and a wise one at that.
Notice that the only two nations that stand up to U.S. Imperialism are North Korea, and Pakistan. What do they have in common?
They have nukes.
Nuclear Proliferation will restore justice and peace to our world. It will make our nation stop bullying the world. We should support Nuclear Proliferation!
Nuclear weapons make war obsolete because they make victory impossible. It was mutually assured destruction that kept the peace between the Soviet Union and the United States. The peace lasted for decades.
It is bigotry to think that a hereditary Islamic theocracy couldn’t grasp the concept of mutually assured destruction. When both parties have nuclear weapons it is suicide to attack. Governments want to stay in power,, they don’t want to be incinerated.
What government would ever order a suicide attack?
The United States needs to step aside and allow the natural spread of nuclear technology. Technology throughout history has always spread. Gunpowder started in China, which was the most powerful, most advanced, and wealthiest nation on earth at the time. Now,, everyone has gunpowder. The most isolated illiterate tribesman carrys an automatic rifle when they go to war.
In the future, every Mullah, Generalismo, and War Lord will have access to nuclear weapons. All of them will be able to unleash an atomic fireball, but all of them will know that the same thing will come back at them. As rational beings that will realize this is unthinkable.
Once everyone who wants an atomic bomb has one,, Peace will prevail!
Support Iran’s nuclear program. Support Nuclear Proliferation. Help bring forth the new age of Atomic Peace
Looks like "thinking dove" is a regular at a blog site called "the propeace community" (http://www.propeace.net/blog/).
Our position here at "Bloodthirsty Warmonger" is that everyone has the virtually unlimited right to bear arms. The only exceptions are in the area of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons - most individuals don't have the training and resources to handle and store them properly.
What complicates applying the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction to countries such as Iran is their apocalyptic vision, which includes preparing the world for the return of the Twelfth Imam. So even if the USA and/or Israel bombed Iran back to the stone age, they figure they have nothing to lose if they pave the way for him to come back and purge the earth of infidels.
