Obama outlines sweeping goal of nuclear-free world
Apr 5 11:11 AM US/Eastern
By JENNIFER LOVEN
AP White House Correspondent
PRAGUE (AP) - Declaring the future of mankind at stake, President Barack Obama said Sunday all nations must strive to rid the world of nuclear arms and that the U.S. had a "moral responsibility" to lead as the only country ever to use one.
Even as a North Korean rocket launch upstaged his ambitious, if not realistic, call to action in the heart of Eastern Europe, Obama dismissed those who say the spread of nuclear weapons cannot be checked.
"This fatalism is a deadly adversary," he told a crowd of more than 20,000 in an old square outside the Prague Castle gates. "For if we believe that the spread of nuclear weapons is inevitable, then we are admitting to ourselves that the use of nuclear weapons is inevitable."
Calling nuclear arms "the most dangerous legacy of the Cold War," Obama appealed to anti-nuclear activists in the United States and abroad while taking care to promise that America's national security would not be compromised.
He chose as the venue for his address a nation that peacefully threw off communism and helped topple nuclear power Soviet Union. "Let us honor our past," Obama said, "by reaching for a better future."
Shifting on an eight-day European trip from the economic crisis to the war in Afghanistan and now nuclear capabilities, Obama said his goal of "a world without nuclear weapons" won't be reached soon, "perhaps not in my lifetime."
But he said his country, with one of the world's largest arsenals and the only nation to have used an atomic bomb, has a "moral responsibility" to start taking steps now.
The nuclear-free cause is more potent in Europe than in the United States, where even Democratic politicians like Obama must avoid being labeled as soft or naive on national security matters. Indeed, Obama said surrendering nuclear weapons must be a global all-for-one, or not-at-all, endeavor.
"Make no mistake: As long as these weapons exist, we will maintain a safe, secure and effective arsenal to deter any adversary, and guarantee that defense to our allies," said Obama, who promised to host a summit within the next year on nuclear weapons.
He also gave his most unequivocal pledge yet to proceed with a missile defense system in Europe while Iran pursues nuclear weapons, as the West alleges. That shield is to be based in the Czech Republic and Poland. Those countries are on Russia's doorstep, and the move has contributed to a significant decline in U.S.-Russia relations.
In the interest of resetting ties with Moscow, Obama previously had appeared to soft-pedal his support for the Bush-era shield proposal. But he adopted a different tone in Prague.
"As long as the threat from Iran persists, we will go forward with a missile defense system that is cost-effective and proven," Obama said.

We all believe in working for peace but these guys are intent on destroying the world. Let's be ready!

i have never quite understood those European countries who accept foreign guns & troops on their soil.
I know Russia will one day try to conquer rest of Europe but i sill don't want American troops here. We should be able to defend ourselves just as my country has done many times against bigger countries.
Too bad Germans, brits, poles etc. are too big pussies to understand this... as them i would be embarrassed to call themselves as free countries when there is foreign troops stationed there. |

There is no reason for this shield except to anger russia. Since the announement they have stepped up nuclear sub patrols and nuclear bomber flights down our coasts. This thing is heating up....not otherwise! |

If we truly wanted peace why would we even build the missle defense shield. It is only stirring up unrest.
If usa truly wanted peace we would bring all of our troops back home. |

Let's just say there are people out there who do NOT want "peace", and they will stop at nothing to try and destroy........ANYTHING.
The U.S. HAS to have SOME KIND OF DEFENSE. Period.
Anyone that says they don't is green and naive. |

It would be built to shoot down russian missiles. From what I understand, they are a lot easier to shoot as they are heading up as opposed to a missle coming down on the usa. |
