During the pre-war and pro-"peace" discussions of the past few months the best-suppressed association is the one with the Cuban missile crisis. I can hardly recall anyone mentioning it.

Isn't this fascinating? Here, we have a precedent when a half-hungry dictatorship had the nerve to try hiding missiles right in our backyard – over 40 years ago. This brought about the single most dangerous episode in the history of... life on this planet.

Any chance that some other dictator or some major terrorist may find a way to threaten us with unconventional weaponry right here, in our country?

We need leadership capable of preventing that.

One interesting thing about the Iraqi war is that it turned around the conventional perception that having WMD's adds to a regime's security. Now, many will learn that the opposite is true, and that it may be wiser to do nothing that may be perceived as a major threat.
