"We have become too attached to our double standards, to a world of nuclear “haves” and “have-nots.”
We spend on nuclear weapons and their delivery systems what it would cost to feed the world’s hungry, shelter the world’s homeless, care for the world’s sick and infirm, and educate the world’s children.
In our comfortable reliance on our military might, we have failed to grasp that nuclear weapons are a far more powerful tool in the hands of the weak than in the hands of the strong.
We have failed to grasp that America cannot afford to again use nuclear weapons, but extremist groups are eager to obtain these weapons and use them against us.
We have failed to grasp that there is no defense against nuclear weapons, as we throw money into missile defenses like a helpless giant.
America stands at increasing risk that its great cities will be destroyed by nuclear weapons. "
These are some interesting points to ponder from an article that otherwise borders on "Chicken Little".
