"As the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon, the United States has a moral responsibility to act," Obama told a crowd of more than twenty thousand in Prague's historic Hradcany Square. "We cannot succeed in this endeavor alone, but we can lead it." The endeavor of which he spoke is the reduction and eventual elimination of nuclear weapons from the planet. The president also called for strengthening the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, meant to allow access to nuclear power for nonmilitary use and to secure nuclear weapons and ingredients from terrorists.
That's where things become increasingly ironic: We've already had our turn. Twice. We just don't want anybody else to join this very exclusive club.
Meanwhile back home, the gunman who shot three policemen in Pittsburgh had recently been upset about losing his job and feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns. First of all, nothing tells a prospective employer that you're ready to jump back into the job market more than a shooting rampage, and second what makes him think that he will be able to keep his guns if he uses them to shoot cops?
Rational thought is at a premium right now. Here's one: The shooting in Pittsburgh occurred just two weeks after four police officers were fatally shot in Oakland, California, in the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement since September 11, 2001. That was when terrorists used airplanes to blow up World Trade Center towers. They didn't use guns. Or nuclear weapons.
