You're right. Planet Patriots disarming ALL bombs and missiles would be one of those "greatest achievements by humankind". However, those who make a 'killing' off arms development/construction/distribution are in the highest echelons of power in this country. They are not going to let disarmament happen,...unless, they are the ones hit by one of their own arms. Even then, they'd prolly opt for even greater forms of destructive revenge.
