It is rare when I find myself in agreement with President Obama. In fact, the number of his policies that I support are so few that they can fit on the head of a pin. But among those few policies is his dream to rid the earth of nuclear weapons. I pray that Obama achieves this dream in my lifetime and I will do all I can to help him. Why? Because I was born too late for World War II; I was an early baby boomer, a post-war kid who missed what it was like to live in the pre-nuclear age of great power wars; who missed the thrill of London being bombed by V-2s, the Battle of Stalingrad, the Dresden blitzkrieg, Pearl Harbor and Normandy. I'm tired of reading about these things and watching old war films and documentaries. I yearn to turn back the clock and experience them for myself. Now perhaps my only hope, my one and only chance to live through such times is President Obama.
