Definitely, I am not advocating an arms race.

I don't believe in strong-arming people.

It behooves a prudent person to make trial of everything before arms.

The arms race is worse than it ever was, the dumping of creation down a military rat hole is worse than it ever was, the wars across the earth are worse than they ever were.

Be careful: they have arms, and no alternatives.

I'm not a military strategist.

First and foremost arms are tools in the service of rival nations, pointing at the possibility of a future war.

You cannot deal with an industrial-strength extremist problem just with force of arms. You have to have that political component as well.

The U.S. is by far the biggest exporter of arms in the world. It was true during the Clinton administration, and it's true during the Bush administration. It's bipartisan.

It is not the cause for which men took up arms that makes a victory more just or less, it is the order that is established when arms have been laid down.
