Professor John Maguire:

I will add one final sentence. Lewis Mumford, the social critic, in 1946 wrote an article in The Saturday Evening Post, where he said: “Gentlemen: You are Mad!” I do not mean that you here are mad. He was writing to the leaders. He then said that we are mad for not confronting this.

On a very final point, I am concerned about armed neutrality. It must not be escalatory or feed into the military-industrial complex, but I have no difficulty with a country genuinely defending itself.
