America must be a light to the world, not just a missile.

We still need to be conscious of the fact that Russia has intercontinental ballistic missiles.

We hear so much about weapons of mass destruction. But nine out of 10 war victims are killed by guns. It's the AK-47 that's a weapon of mass destruction.

We're like Iraq. We're hiding missiles. We've got two missiles in reserve.

And beyond that, the next issue is how do we guarantee one of these weapons, not necessarily this missile, but nuclear weapons ends up in the hands of Al Qaeda or some other terrorist group.

Nuclear weapons are infinitely less important in our foreign policy than they were in the days of the Cold War. I don't think we need nuclear weapons any longer.

National Missile Defense is of a nature to retrigger a proliferation of weapons, notably nuclear missiles. Everything that goes in the direction of proliferation is a bad direction.

The United States has far more to offer the world than our bombs and missiles and our military technology.

The lesson of the Cold War is that against nuclear weapons, only nuclear weapons can hold the peace.
