President Obama has been pretty steadfast over his career in his stated intent to slash the world's nuclear stockpiles, by emphasizing non-proliferation, focusing on "loose nukes", and working directly with Russia to cut nuclear weapons way down in both of the two main nuclear arsenals, America's & Russia's.
Those of us on the progressive side should encourage him in this, and help him. We should not take such an effort lightly, since the forces that will try to undercut and hollow out such a plan are strong and well-connected.
Barack Obama is doing something very good here, very brave, and we should make it clear we support him on his nuclear reduction proposal.
After all, tomorrow is Earth Day--and you can't hug the earth with nuclear arms...
