Is War Inevitable to Advance Obama's Centerpiece Disarmament Goal?

The Pittsburgh Group of 20 summit was orchestrated from the Obama statement to the UN to the last day of the summit. Many quibble with Obama's UN speech. It was designed merely as a frontispiece to his Pittsburgh speech, from peace to war in a few event-filled days.
