| Message | Unilateral disarmament is totally stupid. If you could get several other nations to do this at the same time, then it would be of some benefit. However Nuclear Weapons are the greatest guarentor of peace that the world knows, to remove them is a step towards war, as it allows conventional warfare to be persued more seriously. |
