North Korea

This weekend, North Korea launched a long-range rocket, which is commonly believed to be a step toward their ability to launch nuclear warheads.

Also this weekend, President Obama called for the U.S. to lead the way to a world without nuclear weapons.

Obama proposed doing so by reducing America’s arsenal, if not altogether eliminating it; hosting a summit on nuclear security; seeking ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty; strengthening the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty; and pursuing a new agreement aimed at stopping the production of fissile materials.

It doesn't seem like a very good time to be talking about reducing our arsenal!
