Obama’s Youth Shaped His Nuclear-Free Vision
Chicago Tribune Photo, 2005
In college, Barack Obama wrote about nuclear arms. As a senator, he viewed a deactivated Russian nuclear missile.

»The student was Barack Obama, and he was clearly trying to sort out his thoughts. In the conclusion, he denounced “the twisted logic of which we are a part today” and praised student efforts to realize “the possibility of a decent world.” But his article, “Breaking the War Mentality,” which only recently has been rediscovered, said little about how to achieve the utopian dream.

Thats great. I want a world without Nukes also. But what happens when we get rid of ours and our enemies don't get rid of theirs?

Exactly what I was thinking. Guess that would leave us without any. They'd have a heads up on us, so to speak.

Has someone informed him that the cold war is over?

The more I read about this man and his views, the more im convinced he will lead millions of Americans to a brutal death. And that scares the heck out of me.
