Sounds really good - but there's a small problem. Of the 9 nuclear powers on earth only 4 or 5 listen to their citizens at all. Certainly the Russian, Chinese, North Koreaa, and Pakistani governments couldn't care less what their citizens or the citizens of the world want or think.
I wish nuclear weapons had never been invented, but since they have, the genie isn't going back in the bottle.

Thanks Bomita!
Mark; if you assume that it's impossible, it becomes impossible.
But; who could even dream of the Soviet Union falling apart?
40 years ago Spain, Greece, and Portugal were military dicktatorships...
So was Argentina not long ago. And Brazil, and Chile, and....

The time for change has come!
Zero nuclear weapons would be a great start on the Road to PEACE!
If not NOW - WHEN???

"Obama urges shift in Russia ties" (BBC)
....Mr Obama called on Russia to accept a "fundamental change", without which, he suggested the next two decades would inevitably bring about the further spread of nuclear weapons.
"That is why America is committed to stopping nuclear proliferation, and ultimately seeking a world without nuclear weapons," he said.
