The arms race isn't over until all the bombs have been either implemented, taken apart, or destroyed. Nobody's won it yet. Nobody may ever, though we all might lose it. The only way to win it is to end it. So if it begins again, America is one of the losers.

Not one of these sentences is true.

In fact, you appear to be rehashing a lot of nuclear freeze dogma. Trust me, because I once thought this way. I remember being aghast when, during the 1980 Presidential Debates, Ronald Reagan openly declared that he was going to play the arms race card against the Soviets, and that America would win. Peace through strength.

He proved me wrong.

Bill Clinton tried the approach you advocate during the 1990s... Strength through wishful thinking.

9/11 proved you both wrong.

Strength through wishful thinking.

That sums up Clinton's foreign policy perfectly.
