[governance] Obama on US unilateralism

[Parminder]

I am pleasantly surprised that any US President, even Obama, could say this

 >Mr. Obama advocated universal disarmament, acknowledging the argument 
that there should be no double standards regarding possession of atomic
 > weapons. "No single nation should pick and choose which nations hold 
nuclear weapons. That is why I strongly reaffirmed America's commitment 
to seek >a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons." (from his 
address at Cairo University)

Makes one really wonder how would he justify continued US unilateralism 
vis a vis IG issues, if he indeed does not make amends. Can he, 
correspondingly, for a start, at least assert 'America's commitment to 
seek a world in which no one nation holds any unilateral control over 
the global public resource that the Internet is', which will be the 
reversal of Bush administration's 'US's historic role' policy and 
world-view.
