Because all rational people would.
The UN Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution calling for nuclear disarmament, in a session chaired by US President Barack Obama.

The resolution calls for further efforts to stop the spread of nuclear arms, to boost disarmament and to lower the risk of "nuclear terrorism".

It was the first time a US president had chaired a Security Council summit.

The resolution comes amid growing concerns among Western powers over Iran's nuclear ambitions.

"The historic resolution we just adopted enshrines our shared commitment to the goal of a world without nuclear weapons," Mr Obama told the Security Council after the resolution was adopted.

He said the next year would be "absolutely critical in determining whether this resolution and our overall efforts to stop the spread and use of nuclear weapons are successful".

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the resolution "a fresh start toward a new future".
The G20 is here.

Russian carmakers are struggling too, if you didn't know. Even worse though is the position of the 27,600 workers getting pink slipped because of their boss in this situation.

Oh boy in Gamba, and not in a good way at ALL.

Kenya is getting a travel ban from the US because of post election violence.

Of course, one of the main things, THEE main thing, to be talked about at the G20 summit will be the fragile world economy. Especially when you see this news about more oil prices dropping.

Well, what do you know? Uruguay is beating America in this department badly:
The tiny South American nation of Uruguay continues to outpace America in the arena of GLBT equality: after allowing gays to serve in the military and preparing the way for family equality in the realm of adoptions for same-sex parents, Uruguay is now on the way to approving a law that respects each individual’s gender identity.
Wouldn't be shocked if Rachel used that tonight on her broadcast.

Oh, and one more piece of news on the G20.....FLOUTS will be the international host of the summit tonight (FLOUTS phrase coined by icebergslim1047). May the nutcases get angry.

And more on this later today, because this story is very important here to talk about.

The Read International, and its joyous return.
