The pundits claim that MAD will keep everything in balance, and point to the U.S./ Soviet MAD era as a model. One of the things these people ignore is that during the MAD era millions of people were killed in proxy wars fought across the world. Even the 6 day and Yom Kippour wars were arguably proxy wars. <br />Another flaw in the MAD argument relates to the sampling size. We have a sampling size of one in regards to emerging from MAD without a nuclear attack. We cannot point to one example of no nuclear attacks, and universally conclude that it would not happen in a difference instance. The ongoing MAD experiment in relation to Pakistan and India has not concluded. We do not know if it will successfully end without a nuclear attack.<br />Besides MAD, there are issues with nuclear blackmail (as perfected by North Korea), a regional arms race including unstable regimes, accidental explosions, theft of weapons etc. etc.. <br />In the end, there is one solution. Iran has to be stopped from obtaining nuclear capability. <br /><br />StanStannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-38615931710978247252012-10-22T21:21:02.995+02:002012-10-22T21:21:02.995+02:00Or frightening them enough to prevent them from us...Or frightening them enough to prevent them from using it ever.
