And they have no intention of ever voluntarily giving up nuclear weapons. Obama will have his finger poised over the nuclear button for as long as he remains president.

Obama will never "earn" his Peace Prize retroactively. He is already the world's biggest warmonger.

I do not believe this to be a true statement of affairs for one millisecond. Rather, that is the Mission Statement which has justified persecuting nations without nuclear arms by the nation with stupendous overkill and international capacity for destruction – and has had for decades.

If in fact that was the objective, then the 'Axis of Evil' would never have been promulgated about those nations which signed on to an international treaty to provide reassurance to neighbouring countries that they are not engaging in WMD research.

Iraq

Iran

North Korea

Iraq has already been futilely invaded,occupied and destroyed. United States unilateral sanctions have economically harmed both Iran and North Korea.

I liked North Korea's response when the UN Security Council braced it about atomic tests. There have been 2054 nuclear tests on this planet. We have done 2. You have done the rest. Yet we are the problem ?

This little Japanese visual on tests is remarkable in the clarity it provides.

Any cursory reading of the Nuclear NonProliferation Treaty must reveal the Third Pillar : where signatories are assured freedom to responsibly use nuclear power. How is it then, that the triumph of U.S. technology under the Shah becomes a gateway to weaponry ? Was the U.S. that reckless in providing fusion technology basically incompatible with weapons technology to its then vassal state ? And are the Russians supplying fuel and tech for power generation suddenly going to enable a threat in their backyard when they have no need or desire to do so ?

Such thinking ignores the lessons of the Cuban Missile crisis, which was really a response to U.S. nuclear arms situated in Turkey.

So where are we today ? With Israel's recently recognized H-Bomb threat used against Iran. Not that the U.S. is uninvolved.

I invite you to investigate the website Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Interventions in Iraq. It gives one a far different assessment of matters than will be derived from the previous article.
