Weapons of Mass Distruction

President Barack Obama's pledge to one day rid the world of nuclear weapons runs up against global realities this week when representatives from 47 countries try to craft an agreement on keeping nuclear weapons out of terrorist hands.

As much of the world knows Iran and North Korea are not allowed to build WMD as agreed under Bushes presidency. Yet Iran's perceived attempts to build a nuclear weapon in violation of the global Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, and North Korea's nuclear weapons stockpile and exports of nuclear materials and technology has become a red flag for the United Sates.

The President has promised many things during his term and people are starting to question him. I am curious as to how he plans to hold the promise to stop the production of nuclear weapons when many others before him have tried and failed.

Obama invited the swarm of world leaders as an important step to intensify global focus on one of the most serious nuclear threats: a world in which non-state actors, like the al-Qaida terrorist organizations, obtain nuclear materials.

If Obama wants to change the threat of weapons he needs to find out who is selling them the materials or where they are getting any of there supplies from and shut down the trade. Are military can go in time and time again but unless they find the real problem, it will only keep getting bigger.
