9/11 Emergency Vehicles Tell a Story

A great many of these vehicles do not appear seriously damaged. Why were they turned into scrap? They are emergency vehicles used at the World Trade Center attacks. Could it be that they were unsafe due to radiation poisoning as a result of the high levels of thermite found after 9/11? Radiation poisioning is only as a result of a nuclear explosion. Planes don't cause this.

Obama and Reagan Agree on No-Nuke Policy

Reagan and Obama Shared a Dream

President Barack Obama's call Friday for a "world without nuclear weapons" was met with the usual response from the Republican Party, the party of "NO". The usual suspects attacked Obama including old retread, Newt Gingrich. The only thing he ever said that inspired me was when he was asked if he had smoked marijuana. His response, "Bales of it".

Yesterday he attacked President Obama's call for a nuclear-free world as "fantasy". This brings to mind a similar call for a nuclear-free world from the idol of all Republicans, Ronald Reagan. His idealistic, unfulfilled dream of eliminating the threat of nuclear annihilation. Reagan made this proposal at a 1986 summit with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and the two leaders agreed to pursue that goal. But before their meeting ended, the idea died when Gorbachev insisted on limits on Reagan's "Star Wars" program, known formally as the Strategic Defense Initiative, intended to develop a defense against nuclear attack.

Reagan's proposal caught the Pentagon and Congress by surprise. U.S. allies in Europe were aghast to learn that Reagan and Gorbachev had come close to a deal to abolish nuclear weapons, which NATO regarded as vital to deter Soviet attack. Where was our boy Newt then???




Obama's version of "global zero," as the goal of a nuclear-free future is now called, will build on a promising agreement this week to renew arms control discussions with Russia. And, based on Obama's previous comments on arms control and those of his advisers, it is likely to follow several basic premises:

_ Nuclear weapons have become more trouble than they are worth, an expensive luxury for superpowers and a threat for the rest of the world.

_ The size of the U.S. and Russian arsenals inspires nuclear starter-states such as China to add to their stockpiles and give non-nuclear states a reason to join the club.

_ Getting serious about eliminating nuclear weapons makes the United States more credible when it argues that states such as Iran should not be able to build their own arsenals.

During the presidential campaign, Obama talked repeatedly about securing all nuclear weapons material within four years. He promised to "make the goal of eliminating nuclear weapons worldwide a central element of U.S. nuclear policy" and said he would not authorize development of new nuclear weapons.

He said he would not drop U.S. weapons unless other nations agreed to do the same, a tenet of old-school arms control, and promised to "maintain a nuclear deterrent that is strong, safe, secure and reliable."

Obama Video Reaches Out to the People of Iran

Thursday, March 19th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
A New Year, A New Beginning

President Obama released a special video message for all those celebrating Nowruz. Translated "New Day," Nowruz marks the arrival of spring and the beginning of the New Year for millions in Iran and other communities around the world. This year, the President wanted to send a special message to the people and government of Iran on Nowruz, acknowledging the strain in our relations over the last few decades. "But at this holiday we are reminded of the common humanity that binds us together," he says.

After committing his administration to a future of honest and respectful diplomacy, he continues on to address Iran's leaders directly: "You, too, have a choice. The United States wants the Islamic Republic of Iran to take its rightful place in the community of nations. You have that right -- but it comes with real responsibilities, and that place cannot be reached through terror or arms, but rather through peaceful actions that demonstrate the true greatness of the Iranian people and civilization. And the measure of that greatness is not the capacity to destroy, it is your demonstrated ability to build and create."
