Obama is limiting potential uses of nuclear weapons

The U.S. is pledging to not use nuclear weapons against countries who don't have nukes, no matter what they use on us. The U.S. will "keep all options on the table" when it comes to dealing with North Korea and Iran. In Obama's new nuclear policy, the U.S. will not develop or test any new nuclear weapons. The policy is aimed at reducing the world's stockpiles of nuclear weapons, however some are concerned that the U.S. could put itself in danger if others don't follow. Robert Gates said that this document doesn't quite declare that the U.S. will never be the first to use a nuclear weapon. Nuclear treaty violators like Iran and North Korea are exempt from this new policy.

My Opinion: This has potential to be okay. I think that if countries use biological or chemical attacks on our country, we shouldn't entirely rule out nuclear weapons. However, the basic idea of not shooting off nukes on people who don't have them is probably an okay idea. I am glad that North Korea and Iran are not included in this new policy. It seems like North Korea and Iran are pretty unstable, and we need to keep enough nukes for the U.S. to be able to defend itself against these countries in the event of a threat from them.
