Letter from Mr David Bargh
As a Christian, green socialist I would like
to raise a few issues with you. From a Christian perspective —"Thou
shalt not kill"—so, that means no nuclear, chemical,
biological or conventional weapons of any description. "Love
thy/thine neighbour/enemy".—Why are you not already
doing this? If you did this, you would put yourselves out of a
job. Are you not Christians? If you are Christians, then you know
what your duty is.
From a green perspective weapons of all description
take time to decay and become obsolete, in the case of nukes about
240,000 years. So, you can see into the future for that amount
of time can you?
It is a shame that the current "socialist"
government in Britain seems to have abandoned all its youthful
commitments. How many are ex-members of CND?
Lastly, "Missile Defence", a waste
of time, effort and money, also guaranteed to irritate and annoy
just about every country in the world who may have a vague foreign
policy difference to the USA. If you are looking for the next
nuclear strike, then may I suggest that you check out what is
on the top of every terrorist's wish list—a small nuclear
device that they can sneak into a country like the USA, by the
back door.
I close in wishing you and all on the team many
sleepless nights sorting this mess out, someone has to, it appears
to be you.
