Barack Obama has outlined his vision of a world free of nuclear weapons in a major speech in Europe.
Speaking to a 20,000-strong crowd in front of Prague's historic castle, Mr Obama said the US had a moral responsibility to act in ridding the world of nuclear weapons.
The plan sure is nice, but I'm being a bit of a pessimist here. The USA has the largest amount (several thousand) of nuclear weapons, so if someone needs to start, it will be them. Putting that aside, even the existance of one nuclear military device will be enough to cause dramatic problems. Still, good luck.
