Get ready for controversy!

Finally, there is some news about the Nuclear Posture Review that has been going on in the background in the Obama administration.  Everyone with an interest in 'things nuclear' has been waiting to see how much Obama changes previous policy. 

Here's a quote from a New York Times article on one of the biggest announced changes in the imminent Review:  "For the first time, the United States is explicitly committing not to use nuclear weapons against nonnuclear states that are in compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty"

Believe it or not, this is a big change in policy, that does seem to be in line with Obama's stated anti-nuke agenda.  Suddenly, we should start hearing a lot more about what nuclear weapons mean in the U.S. these days!

See an interesting opinion article?  Post it!
