SOCIALISM Step 4 - Give your power away
~The World bodies UN, IAEC & others were powerless to stop N. Korea from launching a missile. What makes you lefties think that disarming is going to make us more safe in a world that the nuclear deterrent has worked in so far.

Immoral countries like N. Korea & Iran would not care what moral authority we muster. It is power & regime survival that they care about. I am not buying your argument.
He [Obama] didn't say that a nuclear-armed Iranian regime is unacceptable. He didn't express a commitment to preventing such an outcome, or confidence that the United States and international community would prevent such an outcome. He simply suggested that it wouldn't be optimal for Iran to choose that outcome. And if the rulers of the Islamic republic disagree? In the very speech in which Obama outlined his vision of a world without nuclear weapons, he weakened America's stand against Iran's nuclear weapons program.
So while Obama talks of a future without nuclear weapons, the trajectory we are on today is toward a nuclear- and missile-capable North Korea and Iran -- and a far more dangerous world.



But blatant hypocrisy always means something ... especially when you are on the shitty end of that stick. Also moral authority, sans hypocrisy, is something that enhances the power of the person in authority - it is not granted by the subjects. It is simply a force acquired by doing what is right. So that, in the distant future of a world with no nukes, there will be no hesitations by governments to prevent an Iran or a Korea from attaining nukes - that will be the assumption of all of the world governments. Obama said that he does not expect this world to come about in his life time. But it is time to seriously start moving in that direction. That a American president has officially recognized this hypocritical bug in the proliferation treaties and has set out to fix it tells me that finallly we have an exceptional statesman in the white house.
It is real simple ... when i come to you with bloodied hands and shout no more bloodshed, will you not just post an RWG against me?

I think a foreign policy needs time to make any difference, so I would not expect any dramatic differences to manifest immediately. There was one achievement that was unattainable last fall and that was transit over Russian territory to supply Afghanastan. Take a look at the state of the world after his term in office, compared to what he inherited is, me thinks, a more reasonable way to judge his foreign policy.

U.S. President Barack Obama warned Iran on Friday the world will not wait indefinitely for it to end its nuclear defiance, saying Tehran had until September to comply or else face consequences.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia will not agree to tougher sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program in exchange for a new nuclear arms cuts deal with Washington, Interfax news agency quoted a foreign ministry source as saying Tuesday.
Last week, U.S. President Barack Obama's nuclear adviser suggested that progress on a U.S.-Russian nuclear arms pact could help persuade Moscow to be more cooperative on Iran.
"There are no reasons to link these issues or count on Russia being more cooperative in toughening sanctions against Iran if there is progress in talks with the United States on further cuts in strategic offensive weapons," the source said.
