According to the InterPress Service, "The Barack Obama administration's apparent resolve to take U.S. foreign policy in a new direction is creating ripples of hope for an enhanced U.N. agenda on nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament."
No longer does the world need to worry about a mad cowboy in the White House who feeds his ego with needless violence.
Alas, however, the nuclear problem isn't so simple that a single change of U.S. leadership can resolve it.
As long as North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Israel, and possibly Iran continue to develop and maintain nuclear weapons, civilization will always be at risk.
But at least one major player -- the U.S., led by the ever calm and rational Barack Obama -- may be ready to approach such matters as an adult.
And only under such adult supervision can we ever hope to negotiate worldwide nuclear arms reductions and make the world a safer place for all of its inhabitants.
Fingers crossed.
