He wants every country on the planet to destroy thier nukes, so we can have a safer planet.
Here are my objections:
1. How do we know every country will actually do it? Any country that does destroy theirs may find that they are the only country that did and now can be invaded by others.
2. Ever since Pakistan and India got nukes, they have not had any major fighting because they do not want to back the other into a corner where it may launch them before going down.
3. Ever since WWII, every political candidate has known that you do not invade a nuclear country, like Russia for example. Nukes keep the peace.
4. If there were no nukes, China and other huge population countries could take us over with ther huge armies. Just like if you take guns away from everyone, buff guys could beat up small guys again, whereas now they only beat you up if they are sure you don't have a gun.
5. If an asteroid is headed towards earth, how will we blow it up? If we save nukes for this purpose, what is to stop us from launching them at other countries? Why should other countries then not keep theirs too? (for asteroids)
I say we keep the nukes, but only confinscate them from highly unstable countries, like maybe North Korea, which might launch one just the government feels it has nothing to lose.
