Continued testing on our own part, we can assume, will not cause a similar uproar; it will take place on our own soil, and even then only on a scale with-in the limits called for in the upcoming global test ban treaty. Nevertheless, the hypocrisy of such an action plainly goes against the spirit of international disarmament and threatens to undermine global confidence in our resolve.

The question of how to deliver and drop atomic bombs on Japanese soil had been thoroughly studied at the highest U.S. government levels well before the test in New Mexico.

The only hope, he declares, lies in inducing the conspirators to act prematurely, before their confederates in the Federal Government have managed to completely disarm the Patriots. "If we are lucky, we can get them to move too quickly." War on American soil is probably inevitable. "Did I say it was going to be a short war? Did I say it was going to be an inexpensive war?"
