Allow me to sound like a hippie for a second by incorporating the nuclear bomb analogy into a casual dialogue...

Joe: They should implant the key to activate a nuclear missile into a staff member of the President. Then, the only way for us to fire a nuclear bomb is for this man to die. That way, the President would have to actually kill a man right in front of him before he could kill thousands of strangers across the ocean.
Fred: That's crazy Joe! If he had to kill someone, the President would never fire a nuclear bomb!
Joe: Exactly.

I'm too tired to analyze or deliver a stance. Just had to read something like this again tonight and thought I'd share it. Anything wrong with that?
