| Message | OOC: Sorry about this. I was busy these past couple of days, and missed the vote. This upset me because it was the second time this treaty was defeated because I was otherwise preoccupied. |

| Message | IC: "The AF is committed to the principle of a strong military, but believes that the use of certain weapons, tactics, and practices are so pernicious that they must be prohibited by international law. Therefore, the AF gladly lends its support to this treaty." -Hirotsugu Yamauchi, AF Critic for Defense |

| Message | IC: "We question the effectiveness of this treaty with regard to nuclear war. It prohibits a normal retaliatory nuclear deterrent and instead allows only the use of nuclear weapons "if victory is not feasible by other means". That is a dangerous precedent, as it does not deter and it can be used aggressively, whereas a deterrent cannot be used aggressively." |

| Random quote: "No one today can afford to be innocent, or indulge himself in ignorance of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The national polities of the modern world maintain their existence by deliberately fostered craving and fear: monstrous protection rackets. The 'free world' has become economically dependent on a fantastic system of stimulation of greed which cannot be fulfilled, sexual desire which cannot be satiated and hatred which has no outlet except against oneself, the persons one is supposed to love, or the revolutionary aspirations of pitiful, poverty-stricken marginal societies like Cuba or Vietnam. The conditions of the Cold War have turned all modern societies - communist included - into vicious distorters of man's true potential." - Gary Snyder |
