Description - Banner

••• Logically, if you want to deter other nations from using their nuclear weapons against you, it helps if those other nations know of your plan to use your nuclear weapons against them. That's how it worked in Dr. Strangelove, even though it didn't really work because of a trigger happy, renegade general. Even if that is the intention of the new full-spectrum global strike, to claim it in the name of security, it doesn't change the fact that the plan itself is a preemptive attack, an offensive triggered by perception, contains a nuclear option and is in violation of international law. This "kick down the door" strategy of foreign policy is now centered at Strategic Command in Omaha, NE approved by Donald Rumsfeld and President Bush to fit nicely snug with Stratcom's some 10,350 U.S. nuclear weapons. Now, looking at this administration's track record in foreign countries and the wars they continue to wage, I don't really feel comfortable about these new features and the destruction they intend to bring to the world. And the real problem is that nobody even knows about all that this "global strike" plans on doing. This 9 x 3 foot canvas banner was made with ink, screens and brushes for the Speak Out At Stratcom peace rally on August 6, 2005, which marks the 60th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. This is the 3rd annual SOS done to emphasize the dangerous connection between nuclear weapons, conventional warfare and current U.S. foreign policy.
