With proper tactics, nuclear war need not be as destructive as it appears.

I believe it is a mistake to isolate arms control from other areas of policy.

Nothing is more urgent than a serious, dare I say compassionate, debate as to where we are going at home and abroad. Technicians cannot master revolutions; every great achievement was an idea before it became a reality. Cathedrals cannot be built by those who are paralyzed by doubt or consumed by cynicism. If a society loses the capacity for great conception, it can be administered but not governed.

The nuclear weapons were not useful for the achievement of political objectives.

More and more of the Taiwanese economy is connected with the mainland. There are more and more exchanges taking place. There's no reason to doubt that over a period of ten years or so, or maybe more, the conditions of life on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will become more comparable, and the dialogue on the political level therefore easier.

I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people.

People are generally amazed that I would take an interest in any form that would require me to stop talking for three hours.
