Can we be allies again?

The Herald reports:

President Barack Obama last night launched a drive to rid the world of nuclear weapons.

Sounds good. Let me known when you have Iran, North Korea, India, Pakistan, Israel and France to agree.

But in the meantime, if the policy of the Unied States is now to seek to eliminate nuclear weapons, then it makes no sense to continue with sanctions against New Zealand for having banned ships with nuclear weapons.

So will President Obama upgrade New Zealand from friend status back to ally, and end the stupid ban on troops exercising together?
