Damn those peaceniks, and their "health, education, health,education, with occasional mention of the police"!!
Well I'd call myself a peacenik, one who believes that strong defences make for peace. As Teddy Roosevelt said "speak softly and carry a big stick".

Most administrations would say they agree with that but how many do any more than pay lip service to the sentiment
