Washington Post: Obama calls for world without nuclear weapons

By: M.D. Shear and C. Whitlock; full article may be read here

For me this is a very long expected policy shift. How can you ever ask countries to respect the part of the NPT that prevents them from getting nuclear weapons, if the nuclear powers themselves don't respect art. 35 of the NPT that says they are committed to get rid of them? Very good pressure move in the game they're playing with Iraq, by the way.
