We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.

We remain essentially a nation under siege.

But now with the living conditions deteriorating, and with the sure knowledge that we are slated for destruction, we have been transformed into an implacable army of liberation.

Now even the American command is under siege. We are hitting it from the north, east, south and west. We chase them here and they chase us there. But at the end we are the people who are laying siege to them. And it is not them who are besieging us.

At a time when we are facing threats from nations such as North Korea and Iran, and attempting to convince others such as India and Pakistan to become responsible nuclear powers, it is vital that America reclaims the leadership we once had on arms control.

It's painfully obvious to see that as Americans we can sometimes be wrapped up in our own affairs.

We have to be as militant defending America as the enemies of America are in trying to destroy America.

What we have to stop and think about is that we have weakened ourselves militarily to such an extent that it affects all of our military policies.

If there is one principle more deeply rooted in the mind of every American, it is that we should have nothing to do with conquest.
