VIENNA, Austria: Austria's chancellor on Sunday called for the world's nations to rid themselves of nuclear weapons, speaking on the eve of the 62nd anniversary of the bombing that devastated Hiroshima. ~snip~

"The central question can't be who should be allowed to possess the atomic bomb," said Gusenbauer, a Social Democrat. "The only genuine protection from nuclear disaster is the complete elimination of all nuclear weapons."

Neutral, nonaligned Austria is not among the world's nuclear powers.

Gusenbauer's office said his statement was aimed at all countries that officially or unofficially have gained nuclear weapons capability. ~snip~

I agree with him and wish that more leaders would push for this too.

Now if only other leaders would start saying the same; especially those whose countries have nukes at present.
