Obama and Medvedev Sign Nuclear-Arms Treaty

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100408/ap_on_re_us/us_us_russia;_ylt=AlqcLf_wXbiulHoS5l.vQEOyFz4D;_ylu=X3oDMTJkOGFnYWZ2BGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMTAwNDA4L3VzX3VzX3J1c3NpYQRjcG9zAzEEcG9zAzIEc2VjA3luX3RvcF9zdG9yeQRzbGsDb2JhbWFtZWR2ZWRl

While the treaty will cut all Nuclear nation's stockpiles by one-third, that still leaves two major powers (The U.S. and Russia) with the firepower to destroy the whole earth five times over.

Meanwhile, the thought of a militarily weak country in the middle-east (ie. Iran) even having the technology to produce one in the distant future scares the sh*t out of us.

Makes you feel real safe doesn't it?

UPDATE: Thank goodness! Apparently this treaty only applies to "long-range" missiles. And here I thought the United States would be defenseless against all those army-less, navy-less, air-force-less, nuclear weapons deprived third world nations we love to invade.
