Ah, but we are. As a nation with the economic, military and technological
capability, it is our responsibility as a nation to do what we can to

However, no other weapon can do what a cruise missile does so well -- to
deter the public eye from the White House's internal problems.

more honor than our current foreign policy.

1. Note that the key concept here is to preserve peace. Ike, JFK, LBJ,
Reagan and crew somehow managed to pervert that into destroying Communism,
and fifty years of arms escalation was the result.
