Obama calls for reduction of nuclear stockpiles in historic Hiroshima visit

President Barack Obama called on nations to "escape the logic of fear" and reduce their stockpiles of nuclear weapons as he became the first sitting U.S. President to visit Hiroshima, Japan Friday.

Obama did not apologize for or second-guess President Harry Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, accelerating the end of World War II.
