Blog Stage 6: Commentary

I agree with Ralph in that there is no point in this treaty that President Obama is signing with Russian President Medvedev. If they were to make and sign a treaty it should be to get rid of all nuclear weapons not just one third of them. What is the point of even having so many nuclear weapons when the usage of just one is enough to blow up the entire earth? I also agree with President Obama's reasoning that he is doing this so that Iran won’t get too ahead in there nuclear building schemes, but it’s not like Iran is just going to stop just because every other country is signing a treaty claiming to hold only 1,550 nuclear weapons. Another thing, why does very country need, and want, 1,550 nuclear weapons? Isn’t it more than enough that they each just have one? I just think that they should just get rid of these nuclear machines altogether.
