It's a failure of national vision when you regard children as weapons and talents as materials you can mine assay and fabricate for profit and defense.

Our failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq thus far has been deeply troubling and our intelligence-gathering process needs thorough and unbiased investigation.

We experience problem-solving sessions as war zones we view competing ideas as enemies and we use problems as weapons to blame and defeat opposition forces. No wonder we can't come up with real lasting solutions!

As a first step there must be an offer to achieve equality of rights in disarmament by abolishing the weapons forbidden to the Central Powers by the Peace Treaties.

My entry into the environmental arena was through the issue that so dramatically - and destructively - demonstrates the link between science and social action: nuclear weapons.

There are nuclear weapons in China Iran Korea and Pakistan. It wouldn't take much to send a couple of warheads off on this planet somewhere that would cause a lot of environmental damage then if you have got someone who wants to retaliate you have real problems.

To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time any place is more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.

A man who cannot be enticed by money or intimidated by the threat of jail or death has two of the strongest weapons that anyone has to offer.

We know the threats - from global terrorist networks to the spread of deadly weapons. Yet we also know that embedded in this time of danger is the promise of a new day if we have the courage and commitment to work together.

A man of courage never needs weapons but he may need bail.
