Those darned ICBMs are always self igniting and attempting to sneak out of their silos and wander around the neighborhood un-escorted.

Oh, right! How stupid do they think we ARE? SURE! Let’s disarm ourselves! I’m sure our adversaries, current and potential, would NEVER take advantage of our weakened state. Oh....wait...

Eliminate those so called experts instead.
