I read his last sentence as being sarcastic regarding the history of what mutual armament has brought about. It is possible that I have mis-read his intent. If I am reading him correctly he is correct about its effects on violence and peace. You like wise are right about the first strike idiots. BTW, I do owe you a letter. Perhaps I need to dis-engage from this flame fest and take care of stuff like that. Things are pretty good in general. I'll get the letter out soon. Will be good to catch up again Regards.
