I completely disagree with Bush's planned unilateral nuclear disarmament plan. It will leave us much too vulnerable to a Russian nuclear first strike.Here here. Reminds me of the New Zealand PM who dismantled the military with the haughty declaration that they were going to promote peace, not violence. (Big sign taped on Auckland's backside: "Kick Me. I'm Unarmed!")

As bizarre as it might sound to the less informed among us, that is exactly the mentality of the Bushies who believe that if they unilaterally destroy 75% of our nukes and place in serious doubt our future status as a nuclear superpower that Russia will follow suit and the ChiComs will restrain themselves from pursuing their current strategic nuclear missile build-up to its logical conclusion--nuclear parity with the US, which by the year 2011 will require only 1700 strategic warheads! Unilateral nuclear disarmament as practiced by the Bushies is nothing less than liberal gun control implementation implemented at the nuclear level, doomed to fail for the same reasons. Gun control does not decrease the risk of violent crime, it increases it. Unilateral nuclear disarmament will increase the risks of nuclear war for the exact same reasons because it does not take the weapons away from the "usual suspect" countries most likely to employ them in acts of global and regional aggression. Instead, it disarms the very (global) policeman (the US) that is supposed to promote order and stability in the world.
