If you said this 50 years ago, you might have sounded credible. As it stands now...I think you really need to do some more homework. I think it's especially inane that you think WE need to give up our nukes at the same time that the DPRK and Iran are building/developing them.

BTW, remember when everyone was so worried that North Korea would nuke us at the soonest opportunity?
