The momentum of armaments competition frustrates any great coordinated drive to solve world problems, while promising sudden death to large parts of humanity, including, ironically, those who are potentially
equipped to solve them; a first strike is evil,
a return strike is misanthropic suicide.
Unilateral initiative in disarmament can
avoid destruction, while freeing energy
for treating severe social problems,
transferring resources to world aid agencies, and
winning support for reconstruction.
