Obama and Nukes

I read this blog post by somebody who obviously doesn’t like Obama. These people are ruthless, calling Obama “Hussein” and trying to bash him so his credibility is shot. I’m sorry, but I guess they don’t realize that he is president (so people obviously like him), the only people who read this blog are people that agree on the same points (I stumbled across it looking at Obama’s proposal), and that these people aren’t really breaking any genius barriers. So here was my first reaction to the post and comments that I read:

What the hell are you guys talking about? He’s not saying that we should be the only nation to disarm our nukes; he’s saying that everybody that has nuclear missiles should disarm them. We would not be alone in this; there would be no active nukes in the world. The instant that we disarm our nuclear missiles, we would not be bombarded by others, because there wouldn’t be any. That’s the point of this whole action, to eliminate the threat of a nuclear holocaust. The simple possibility that at any instant multiple nations could start attacking each other with these devastating weapons is terrifying. It’s scary to think that one instant I could be walking my dog, and the next blown off the face of the earth. I’m not saying that this is likely; I’m just saying that to think about this possibility is chilling. And it is becoming an even greater possibility with more nations coming to discover nuclear powers and rockets that will send them to the other side of the world. The words “intercontinental ballistics missiles” seem made up, but in reality, they are becoming more prominent and closer to the point where somebody breaks and actually uses these words not in a speech, but in action.
