US President Barack Obama says he is pushing for "a world without nuclear weapons", making direct appeals to North Korea and Iran.

He also pledged to work with Russia and China, speaking ahead of a summit in Seoul aimed at reducing the risk of nuclear terrorism.

He emphasised the US's unique position to seek change but said "serious sustained global effort" was needed.

The meeting is being attended by representatives from some 50 countries.

"The only nukes Obozo intends to rid the world of are the ones we have. He is the worst enemy the US has ever had."

Nukes for the Greater Caliphate jhadies. Disarmament for the infidels. What we need is duck and cover exercises to protect from Obama.

As horrible as a nuclear war may be, the fact is that since they were created, there has not been a war between major powers (going on 70 years). I would argue that Korea and Vietnam were proxy wars and Desert Storm, Iraqui Freedom, Afganistan were 1 sided wars.

Prior to that we had WWII, WWI, War of 1870, Crimean War, Napoleonic Wars, 7 Years War...

Anyway, you can make the arguement that nuclear weapons (especially in American hands) have kept the peace.

Just forget the Truman Administration’s screwy idea of handing all of them over to the UN after WWII.

> You could’nt write our world.

Actually, all you see transpiring has been predicted in the Bible.

* The re-emergence of Israel.
* The hatred of Israel by the whole world.
* The existential threat to Israel.
* Calling good evil and evil good.
* The destruction of the family.
* The rise of one-world government

There is more.
Read your Bible.
Give your heart to Jesus.
Watch and pray.

Yeah, a world without Nukes, just like we have cities without guns. When nukes are outlawed, only rogue nations will have them. Then, we’re all in trouble.

Our principal was ex RAF. Looked it up and they ceased being mandatory here in ‘63 - we are a tad closer to the “front lines” of the times than you guys, but he kept doing the drills until ‘68, when he retired.

OMG. He’s going to kill his own kids?! Don’t do it, O. I grew up with nuclear threats. So did you. I got used to it. You didn’t? How about stopping Iran, then? That would be nice. A whole lot better than putting a pillow over those cute little girls while they sleep.

Any news from Israel on this story yet?

Once you get used to bending over, I guess that dropping your pants is the logical next step.
