World War Two, Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize early in his presidency in 2009 in
part for making nuclear nonproliferation a centerpiece of his agenda, Obama on
May 27 will tour the site of the world's first nuclear bombing with Japan's
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The Hiroshima tour will symbolize a new level of
reconciliation between former wartime enemies who are now close allies. It will
