| Message | Look, even if we launch first, it won't make a difference...the person would still be able to launch theirs afterwards. The better thing to do, is to put people in shelters. And if they do attack, then we will retaliate. The only other way, we will launch them first, is if our nation would be defeated and occupied in war, so we take them down with us. |

The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." - Dwight D. Eisenhower |
