"The
universe grows smaller every day and the threat of aggression by any group,
anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or no one
is secure...
Now this does not mean giving up any freedom. Except the freedom to act
irresponsibly. Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves
and hired policemen to enforce them. We, of the other planets, have long
accepted this principle...
Your choice is simple. Join us and live in peace, or pursue your present
course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision
rests with you."
