Visit OpenCanada.org at the link below for Paul Meyer's commentary contrasting President Obama's decision to visit Hiroshima and the US rejection of the Open Ended Working Group in Geneva that is addressing ways of taking forward multilateral nuclear disarmament negotiations. 

"Obama goes to Hiroshima, but stiffs nuclear talks in Geneva" - The upcoming visit may be a first, but if Obama is serious about disarmament, he will not shut the door on discussions with non-nuclear weapon states.
