We have to deal with reality here. In an ideal world, everybody would get on with everybody and there would be no war. We spend trillions of dollars as a world looking up into the sky to see if there is anybody else out there but we cannot get on with ourselves. I really appreciate the witnesses' presentations but in other words, they are saying we should not have a front door or a back door on our house because nobody is going to come near us.
