The article reports the nuclear-free speech and statements regarding Turkey, but includes little background or coloration of the stated positions.

Military posturing against Iran and for Turkey, for the much flawed missile defense system, and omitting Israeli nukes are dark spots that keep the nuclear statements from being a joyful change in direction.

Nuclear weapons is an established industry based on psychology rather than productivity. The budget & status allocated for these "products" is a sad commentary in itself along with the mocking of people who don't buy in to endless war.

An overall quality story. But there will be world peace, no hunger, no disease, no poverty and everyone will be sleeping on golden beds before the world gives up nuclear weapons. Obama may dream of this, but it's a pipe dream.

As long as you have the Hitlers, the Idi Amin's , the Kim's, the Russians, and especially the United States, there will be Nuclear weapons.
