SEVEN LITTLE COUNTRIES SMARTER THAN AMERICA

Alliance of 7 countries calls on Israel to join NPT, and guess what? America is not on the list, but, Ireland is:) And the other six are Egypt, Brazil, Mexico, New Zealand and South Africa. Still getting over the shock of Egypt being on that list, but fair play to them! Isn't it amazing that these 7 countries are doing more to halt the spread of nukes than all of Obama's pretty words. Fair is fair, let's get Israel to sign the NPT like Iran did. Then we can deal with ALL the nukes in this world, not just a "select few"

link An alliance of seven countries on Friday presented a working paper on nuclear disarmament that calls on Israel to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and open its nuclear sites for international inspection, Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) has reported.
