The relationship of the two problems is rather the reverse. To a great extent disarmament is dependent on guarantees of peace. Security comes first and disarmament second. – Ludwig Quidde

That gives us benefits. But we have to figure out where that is going. In the world, we are a global trader already. – Iain Duncan Smith
