So nuclear terrorism is the ultimate threat, but not so ultimate that it’s worth spending money on preventing, inconveniencing the Navy, or overcoming the Bush admnistration’s knee-jerk prejudice against treaties. We did, however, find $200 billion to invade Iraq with, over $500 billion for a Medicare prescription drug benefit, and almost $2 trillion worth of tax cuts. It’s sort of like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife. Or meeting the arms control treaty of your dreams and then undermining it for no good reason.
