I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the Republican Party is not as hawkish as many of its opponents believe. The 2008 Republican Party platform includes the following under "National Security":
"The U.S. should lead that effort by reducing the size of our nuclear arsenal to the lowest number consistent with our security requirements and working with other nuclear powers to do the same."
Let's hope that "the lowest number consistent with our security requirements" rapidly approaches zero. This would be consistent with the large section in the 2008 Republican platform titled "Maintaining The Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life", which includes, "At its core, abortion is a fundamental assault on the sanctity of innocent human life." After all, the use of nuclear weapons, or any other weapons taking the lives of non-combatants, "is a fundamental assault on the sanctity of innocent human life."
In other words, nuclear weapons are the ultimate abortion machine.
