Obama's Naivete

A world without nukes? It's of course a nice idea in principle, just as is communism, if communism could exist without killing 100 million people as it did during the 20th century.

I don't think Obama has ever played poker, because he's already showed the world his entire hand. I don't even think he's studied recent history, because if he had, he would know what happened when Jimmy Carter decided to unilaterally disarm nukes or when he decided unilaterally to pull out of South Korea. He left the North Koreans and Russians licking their chops until he later decided to support South Korea again. Nor does Obama know a thing about game theory.

The world cannot even control one country, Iran, from acquiring nukes. Well, they can, but they choose to believe that the reason Iran is building nukes is because of the strong Iranian Green Party Movement. About the only one who believes them is Obama. How, if they choose not to control one country, can they control the whole world? The only country Obama will attempt to control is the United States. I hope this one doesn't blow up in his face - no pun intended.
