President Obama has been attempting to broker a deal in which the United States and Russia will reduce their stockpiles of nuclear weapons (it's apparently a very dear subject to him), but I'm worried that the treaty won't come to anything. If we can't cut back on our own atomic weapons, then how in the world can we expect smaller nations--especially those overseen by paranoid governments (e.g., North Korea and Iran)--to remain devoted to the cause of arms reduction?

I do like going to antique stores (usually to look at old books), but I can't remember going to someone else's yard sale for years. :/
