| Message | Now for the IC response: The SDP was capable of fabricating "need" for nuclear weaponry. We are certain they'd be equally capable of fabricating "threats" that require their acquisition. It is for that reason we move for the full-on ban. |

| Message | You are all fools, useless idealists! And to answer the PEP, one compromises when one has the reins so that others will do the same. |
