| Message | First strike policies are foolish. You would wait until our enemies have already slaughtered all of our people to use our weapons? What use will our nuclear weapons be when the Gaduri already lie dead at the hands of foreign invaders? |

| Message | Weapons of mass destruction are more useful as a deterrent than an offensive weapon. |

| Message | That is true, but they still have uses as offensive weapons, and creating a first strike policy does not increase it's validity as a deterrent, it merely precludes us the utility of their use as offensive weapons, and/or the use of the threat of their use. |
