44. Are you against just the Raptor, or ALL weapons?

Nothing wrong with a Pacifist attitude. At my core I'm a pacifist myself. However, wrapped around my core is realism, and that causes me to recognize that we do have a strong need for defense. (As opposed to our current OFFENSE vs Iraq.)

If you can accept a need for defense, then there follows a need for at LEAST parity in weapons tech. If you don't have at least that parity, then your defense is illusion. If you don't accept a need for defense, then ANY weapon is too expensive.
