...conflict with the Soviets is not over any strategic nuclear attack issue, but over the kind and quality of our respective economic and social systems. If we allow inflation to go unchecked, continue to channel our technological expertise into "smart" weapons and away from better cars, more public transportation and alternative energy sources, we are giving the Soviets just what they want-the spectacle of a degenerating America...
...dynamics. The result, he said, is that man's very being is "reduced in the worst way." Today, he said, "human val ues are trampled on as never before."

The U.S. can--no more than any native grown dictator--succeed for long if success depends on armed conflict with the populace. And lacking the ability to murder our way to international success, more moderate attempts to buck popular political expressions can only alienate potential friends because of the basic anti-democratic, immoral tenor of such policies...
