Only a fool would believe we should really disarm. The nuclear cat is long out of the bag, and there's no putting it back in anymore... too many people and nations know how to build nukes now that disarming would be suicide.

I agree with this, although I agree with the sentiments of Pres. Obama and the Mayor of Nagasaki.
We have gone 64 years without one of these devices being used in an act of aggression, and I hope that trend continues for as long as humanly possible.
