The only viable threat we have to deter powerful enemies in the future is our nuclear arsenal and the means to deliver it anywhere on the globe. If we throw that away in the name of "peace" as naive liberals such as Obama would have us do we will be throwing away our only hope for avoiding certain attack by an enemy who either cheated on the agreement to destroy all nukes or who has the manpower and industrial capacity to wage and win another conventional war on the scale of WWII.
Of course the most obvious nation in that category today is China, but who can say what other nation or nations could develop a similar capacity in the future? Perhaps a consolidation of all or most all of the Islamic states into one nuclear armed alliance? If that ever happens you can be sure that a nuclear armed alliance of fundamentalist Islamic states will not be our friend.
Good points, all.
