| Message | I'd say ban 'em for 1 and 3 since I can't stand the arguement of using them only after we get nailed first, especially with nukes... however the conservative side of my party, unfortunately, wont allow me to vote for a weaker military... even just slightly. I like 4 but its hardly much of a change considering they most likely would be the same thing, however yeah I can see some improper wiggle room in the current law. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
