Patrick, 
 
Your argument does not respond to the case where 
what is being defended against is a nuclear attack that 
would lead to the destruction of all life on earth.  It is not 
possible to exclude anybody from that.  Saying that starting 
such a war is irrational will not do.  We have all seen the 
movies "Fail Safe" and "Dr. Strangelove," and "War Games," 
and know that accidents can happen as long as there are 
sufficiently large nuclear arsenals out there, which there still 
are unfortunately.
