| Message | Face it, what you have said is wrong. Face it, the nuclear deterrent is the best method of preventing all out conventional warfare. Face it, this Bill is daft in the extreme. |

| Message | As long as we have allies with powerful weapons, we need not have our own. We'll end up destroying ourselves... |

| Message | How so? Why would we nuke ourselves? Allies change, to rely on allies in the long term is rather short sighted. Of course we need our own, otherwise we have no legitimate deterrent. Its all veru well suggesting we can depend on our allies, but it is not a definite that other nations would be willing to get involved in such a situation on our behalf. With nukes the situation should never arise. |
