This is an interesting and refreshing subtext in Obama's entire speech -- he says things are "facts" and not opinions.

Nuclear weapons present us with a set of bad choices. Obama's choice -- to take nuclear arms control and nonproliferation seriously -- is the one most likely to lead to a secure future.

The 1987 moratorium on new nuclear plants in Illinois signaled that going nuclear was a huge mistake. It's made a mess of our electric system, our regulatory system, and worst of all, the state's economy.

Nuclear weapons are more hazardous than anything they seek to solve. To use them against another nuclear state is suicidal, against a state without them is immoral, and they have no utility against terrorists.
