1) He broke them by outspending them in an arms race that in part, led us where we are today. This enemy isn’t in an arms race. They can turn our every day tool of commerce into weapons of mass destruction for free.
2) Assured mutual destruction is a strategy that works only when both parties have something they are trying to protect.
Our enemy has no nation, fights under no flag, with no rules of engagement, and nothing to protect or defend. In fact, we couldn’t nuke this enemy if we wanted to because it is spread throughout more than 60 countries, including our own.

“Assured mutual destruction is a strategy that works only when both parties have something they are trying to protect.”
Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the tenets of Islam. It would be a difficult proposition making pilgrimages to a radioactive hole in the ground. That’s why CAIR reacted with such outrage to Tom Tancredo’s suggestion that it might be a good idea to hold Mecca hostage to the peace and tranquility of the American homeland. I wish Tom was going to be our next President, but alas, he is not.
