Obama To Limit USA Nuclear Use

Item: Obama limits when U.S. would use nuclear arms/New York Times

More Info: Under the new plan, the U.S. promises not to use nuclear weapons against countries that don't have them. The policy would not apply to states like North Korea and Iran, however, because of their refusal to cooperate with the international community on nonproliferation standards. Obama's plan would lessen the role nuclear weapons play in America's defense planning.

Question: Is Obama disarming America, as conservative critics claim? Or is he trying to lead the world away from nuclear confrontation?
