That was for theatrics' sake. It just seemed to fit...

I'm all for complete, multilateral disarmament. I'm all for the complete eradication of nuclear weapons. I just think unilateral disarmament by the US would be foolhardy. It would be nice to think we could just say: "OK, we'll go first. Then you go." I am naive; I freely admit it. But I'm not that naive.

Even so, the US currently has enough nuclear weapons to eradicate the Human Race four times over (if I remember my figures correctly), plus Bush has increased the US Defense Budget from $14 billion to $139 billion over the last six months. Call me naive if you like, but is that not a little excessive?
