  Making paper cranes? Send the kids out on the streets with banners. Protest at US bases, write letters and post pamphlets, get some members in parliament, canvas at other schools, foreign exchange programs, invite expert speakers...get out there kids...this is your generation!

  Rid the world of nuclear weapons? Noble thought but it won't happen.

  I truly feel sorry for the youth of Japan. Every year they get a fresh marinading in self pity and plaintive naivete. A world free of nuclear weapons would be chaos. The trouble isn't nuclear proliferation at all. Rather, the problem is WHICH countries want to get nuclear weapons. If Belgium or Australia were developing nukes, nobody would care. The trouble is rogue regimes like Iran and North Korea trying to join the club.

  ‘‘We won’t ask him to apologize. Instead, we will ask him to eliminate nuclear weapons from the world,’’

  The only way thats going to happen is if the U.S systematically destroys every single nuclear reactor, missile silo, and enrichment facility in the world with or against the will of whatever country owns them. And I don't think that the Russians, Chinese, Indians, Pakistaniis, North Koreans, or Iranians would be very supportive of such a jesture in the name of nuclear disarmament.

  Anyway, if you really think about it the U.S has the most to gain from nuclear disarmament. Isolated from foreign invasion, has friendly neighbors, unrivled naval strength, and hundreds of bases abroad leaves the U.S virtually untouchable by a conventional military assault. Of course some exceptions exist but hay, its not like anybody is going to be able to pull a D-day in California.

  Great idea kid. But how exactly does he go about doing that?
