Ian's background as a leader of AFSC is showing. AFSC is the anti-military Quaker activist group. In every war they weakened our military by helping draft-dodgers figure out how to use "conscientious objector" claims to avoid service. They and other leftwingers think America has too much muscle, and we should unilaterally disarm. They think if we give up nuclear weapons, that will set a good example and other nations will also disarm. Sounds wonderful; very idealistic. Very badly mistaken. Should a kid on the playground simply drop his guard and let the bully beat him up; or should he learn martial arts to defend himself? World politics is a jungle. Gotta be strong to survive, unless you want to be a small, poor nation dominated by others. No missile defense for Hawaii? Just let crazy North Korean leader or Iranian jihadits hit us with nuclear missiles? Oh, puh-leeze!
