That might be a good idea. Politically they might be like a space-age equivalent of nuclear weapons (what with non-proliferation treaties, Mutually Assured Destruction, last resort and all that). Of course, less democratic and more war-like species may have a different view.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't be original, somebody has beaten us to it.

I guess great minds think alike!
