OBAMA E A PAZ

No nosso destaque de fim de semana, o físico Robert Park solicita, na sua coluna "What's New", que Obama ajude, de facto, à "desnuclearização" do mundo:

PEACE PRIZE: OBAMA’S POSITION ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS CITED.

"In announcing that Barack Obama has won the 2009 Peace prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee referred to the president's April speech in Prague, in which he outlined his vision of a world free of nuclear weapons. There is, alas, no peace in the world. The first priority of those who seek peace is prevention of nuclear war. The first step must be for the United States Senate to ratify the 1996 Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. The president has also proposed a new treaty to halt production of fissile materials. The biggest obstacle to a nuclear-free world may be the "reliable warhead" legislation favored by defense secretary Gates."
