After laying a wreath in memory of Hiroshima’s war dead on Friday, President Obama called for an end to war; the elimination of nuclear weapons; a recognition that “every life is precious”; and a “moral awakening” among all nations and peoples.

“We must reimagine our connection to one another as members of one human race,” he said.

Obama said the souls of 100,000 Japanese men, women and children killed in Hiroshima “speak to us.” […]

“We can think of those things and know that those same precious moments happened here 71 years ago. Those who died — they are like us. Ordinary people understand this, I think. They do not want more war. They would rather that the wonders of science be focused on improving life, and not eliminating it.” …

Obama wants an end to nuclear war just when he gave Iran the capability to wage nuclear war.

The problem we have now is that the politicians have developed way to wage war in a manner that doesn't impact most ordinary people. Sure, many of us have friends and relatives who are sent from time to time into an active theater, but it is hardly the experience for many Americans.

So, we do not know the sheer horror of war.

And without knowing the sheer horror of war, there is less incentive to end it by winning.

Because ultimately, the way to end war is by defeating, (and that usually means killing more of) the bad guys. If you're not "in it to win it", you're not going to end it.

And here we are in Afghanistan for 15 years.

Nobody that I ever met wanted to go to war. Me included.

A well thought out foreign policy might prevent a war, but 0bama keeps backing the wrong side. Arab spring, lol.

No, Barry has made the planet a most dangerous place.

Leave it to the Obamatollah to have his arse in Japan on Memorial Day weekend. The more he can trash brave, patriotic Americans and instigate the parasites to riot, the more he likes it. His personal “victories” are meant to over-power ordinary Americans and destroy their way of life. All methods are on the table, including importing enemy combatants by personal decree and hauling in disease and pestilence from our southern border. Hell, he even flies them in here from other countries under the cover of darkness.
Obama is evil.

He KNOWS normal (sane) people don’t want war, but he invades and bombs and uses proxy Muslim terrorist armies to subvert entire nations....... while he protects (and gives $150BIllION to) his Iranian IslamoNazi murder gangsters while they build up a nuclear ICBM arsenal with which to destroy America (their “great satan”)

there won’t be a war. we will be destoyed in less than five minutes...

thanks, O, from saving us from the need to conduct a war to defend ourselves!

“Naturally the common people don’t want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY.”

Yes, that is true, but it is people like Obama that make war inevitable by weakening our country to the point where bad actors feel they have a chance to get what they want by force of arms. Liberals just never learn from history and when they are in power we are doomed to repeat the errors of the past.

How about the souls of those 50,000,000 babies,
do those speak to you Obama? I hope you hear them
in your tortured sleep!
