Is it just me, or is true that there really is less talk of disarmament now than there was during the hottest days of the so-called Cold War? If no option is truly off the table, the presidential candidates should be rethinking the disarmament option. Imagine the world's utter astonishment if an American president or candidate for the presidency stood up and said loudly and clearly "Slaughtering innocents is off the table as an option as of now," and proceeded to dismantle the stockpiles of bombs and other weapons targeted primarily at civilians and their property.
