<<The $20,000 dollar question is whether nuclear weapons would have accomplished a military victory. I am not much of an alternative historian but I believe that probably it would have. While Mao was willing to expend millions of lives, he would not do it in futility. I think he would have allowed Korea to be taken rather than deal with a radioactive PLA>> And lets not forget that it wasnt just the Chinese fighting along the Yalu. There were Russian pilots flying MiGs across the river in China... I think MacArthur really got too big for his britches, and deservedly got put in his place, despite being a brilliant man. Turning a limited conflict into a nuclear spitting match with the Chinese, and consequently the Russians, might well have been a huge disaster... Derek
