A World Without Nuclear Weapons | People & Politics

Almost a year ago, US President Barack Obama pledged to rid the world of nuclear weapons. German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle also supports the drive for nuclear disarmament. Together with Japan and Australia, Germany is looking to promote that cause on the sidelines of a UN General Assembly meeting this month.Those who live near nuclear storage facilities, like residents of the small community of Büchel in Germany's Eifel region, have welcomed the news. But some defense experts are opposed to nuclear disarmament.
