This report by UN World Opinion Forum correspondent, Kevin Sanders updates and expands an earlier program on the failure of the last Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference at the UN in 2005, when the Bush Administration blocked discussion of earlier agreements on nuclear disarmament. The next NPT Review will not be until 2010.Then-Secretary-General of the UN Kofi Annan called the failure "a real disgrace."

Others appearing in the program include former UN nuclear weapons inspector Hans Blix, Michail Gorbachev, former US Defense Secretary Robert McNamarra, former Kennedy advisor Ted Sorensen, the Mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, anti-nuclear activist Dr Helen Caldicott, World Court Justice Weeramantry, former Canadian Disarmament Minister Senator Douglas Roach, Gareth Evans co-chair of Australia's International Commission on Disarmament and the late Nobel Peace Laureate Joseph Rotbalt - who worked on the Manhattan Project that build the bomb - together with citizens, youth groups and peace organizations from around the world.

In addition to highlights of UN presentations, "The People v The Bomb" also features scenes from the mass anti-nuclear rally in Central Park, and excerpts from the historic hearings on the legality of nuclear weapons at the World Court in The Hague, together with updates on developments worldwide as governments, groups and citizens press for the elimination of nuclear weapons.

The program concludes with statements by the two major party presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain on issues of nuclear proliferation, nuclear testing, disarmament and the abolition of nuclear weapons.

Bush and the Neocons have to stop instigating wars which only makes the world nervous, but it's in their plan. They WANT instability so they can justify their actions. Problem, Reaction, Solution... an occult ploy used for manipulation and control.

A lot of therapists are really not doing well with their patients as evidenced by the comments in this video.

@cthugplaya You have to look at the formation of Israel in it's historical context. The holocaust had just ended and Jews were the single biggest victim of it, so there was a lot of sympathy for the European Jews. But I agree that TODAY, Israel has become a racist, terroristic state who have destroyed the lives of the Palestinians. But it is a complicated situation and even people who live there aren't sure what to do. We don't live there and so we don't know how to handle it either.

@christo930 Thanks i thought of it after i thought about fuck and you! ;-)

@christo930 isreal commits human rights violations everyday and has broken almost every un resolution i don't see anyone hint hint running over there holding them accountable for the war crimes they commited actually all i see is the killing and shooting up aid flotilla's and their only excuse is that they are god's choosen ones who have a right to kill for their own country they took from the palestinians through terrorist acts its just funny that the us bombs the japs & expected them take it.

[christo930]

@cthugplaya That's a great argument, why didn't I think of that?

[cthugplaya]

[cthugplaya]

@S3bz3r0 I am not trying to insult Japanese people by discussing history any more than I would be insulting Germans by talking about the Nazis. The Japanese were committing terrible atrocities, especially on the Chinese, including human experimentation on live subjects with no anesthesia for pretty invasive experiments.

[S3bz3r0]

@christo930 and much more! Those crazy Japanese

Better talk to Iran. They are thumbing their nose at the UN. Good luck.
