I Think There Are Many Times When It Would Be Most Efficient To Use Nuclear Weapons. However, The Public Opinion In This Country And Throughout The World Throw Up Their Hands In Horror When You Mention Nuclear Weapons, Just Because Of The Propaganda That's Been Fed To Them.

You [president Kennedy] Have Made Some Pretty Strong Statements About Their Being Defensive And That We Would Take Action Against Offensive Weapons. I Think That A Blockade And Political Talk Would Be Considered By A Lot Of Our Friends And Neutrals As Being A Pretty Weak Response To This [the Cuban Missile Crisis]. And I'm Sure A Lot Of Our Own Citizens Would Feel That Way Too. In Other Words, You're In A Pretty Bad Fix At The Present Time.

There Are No Innocent Civilians, So It Doesn't Bother Me So Much To Be Killing Innocent Bystanders.

If You Are Going To Use Military Force, Then You Ought To Use Overwhelming Military Force. Use Too Much And Deliberately Use Too Much; You'll Save Lives, Not Only Your Own, But The Enemy's Too.

I'd Like To See A More Aggressive Attitude On The Part Of The United States. That Doesn't Mean Launching An Immediate Preventive War.
