We do not have the God-given right to shape every nation in our image or as we choose.

One must take draconian measures of demographic reduction against the will of the populations. Reducing the birth rate has proved to be impossible or insufficient. One must therefore increase the mortality rate. How? By natural means. Famine and sickness

It would be our policy to use nuclear weapons wherever we felt it necessary to protect our forces and achieve our objectives.

They'll be no learning period with nuclear weapons. Make one mistake and you're going to destroy nations.

Poor planning or poor execution of plans is simply to let some force other than reason shape reality.

There is no more important task in a democracy than resolving the differences among people and finding a course of action that will be supported by a sufficient number to permit the nation to achieve a better life for all.

Elimination of nuclear weapons, so naive, so simplistic, and so idealistic as to be quixotic? Some may think so. But as human beings, citizens of nations with power to influence events in the world, can we be at peace with ourselves if we strive for less? I think not.
