The President Cannot Escape From His Office.

I Like To Believe That People In The Long Run Are Going To Do More To Promote Peace Than Our Governments. Indeed, I Think That People Want Peace So Much That One Of These Days Governments Had Better Get Out Of The Way And Let Them Have It.

Now This Brings Me To My Main Topic - Our Military Strength - More Specifically, How To Stay Strong Against Threat From Outside, Without Undermining The Economic Health That Supports Our Security.

Peace And Justice Are Two Sides Of The Same Coin.

A Preventive War, To My Mind, Is An Impossibility Today. How Could You Have One If One Of Its Features Would Be Several Cities Lying In Ruins, Several Cities Where Many, Many Thousands Of People Would Be Dead And Injured And Mangled, The Transportation Systems Destroyed, Sanitation Implements And Systems All Gone? That Isn't Preventive War; That Is War.

If The United Nations Once Admits That International Disputes Can Be Settled By Using Force, Then We Will Have Destroyed The Foundation Of The Organization And Our Best Hope Of Establishing A World Order.
