Quote:No, you don't have to "Live in fear" but you don't give them a path to weapons of mass destruction either.

 

"But we aren't doing that!"

 

They sure as hell think we are.

 

"But we just laugh at them"

 

So did Chamberlain.

 

"But we're so much more evolved now."

 

Human nature doesn't change.

 

Etc.

 

Etc.

 

Etc.

 

If I'm wrong then we have a more peaceful world, but no real change from today. If you're wrong the deaths of millions will be on our own stupid leader's hands.

 

I prefer the status quo thanks.

Yes, yes doomsday. That's obviously the case here. It can only be apocalypse in lieu of total capitulation from another nation. 

 

I prefer peace to carpet bombing. You want a perfect deal. I am aware that there is no such thing.

 

If I am wrong the warmongers will get the war they say they don't want but act like they do. If I am right there will be reasonable peace. I'll take the chance at peace versus what a lot of people perceive as certain war in lieu of a deal.
