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.
