Of course it would be much harder to find solutions to security leaks over the last 30 years than to point fingers and lay all blame where only a small fraction of it belongs. I remember commiserating with a brother over the first term of the Clinton presidency as the '96 elections drew near. I did not know how prescient my comment was. What has been revealed as the work of this president is nothing less than the dismantling of this country. But also, America repeatedly has shown the power to renew herself.
Freedom does that to a people.
With such expos s as Horowitz has written, I still have hope. I' m horrified to see that there are still people like David Horowitz, who seem to believe it is possible to prevail in a nuclear war. True, at some point it may be possible to build an effective defense against ballistic missiles. It is immoral to view the deaths of hundreds of millions of people, on either side, as an acceptable outcome. It is irresponsible to suggest that one side of such a conflict might survive, since it makes the use of nuclear weapons more likely.
