Until then, there is no safety in any defense plan. Fine. Go ahead a proscribe nuclear weapons all you wish. Go to Moscow and tell the Soviets that using nuclear weapons is a no-no. Do the same with the rest of the countries that have or will soon have nuclear weapons ... as will their ancient enemies. Go ahead and engage in all of the wishful thinking you like. In the meantime, quit bugging the realists who are, in good faith, trying to keep your ass from being toasted to a cinder by trying to come up with a reasonably effective defense.
