>> Umm, the concept of mutually assured destruction works.

Stupid remark.

When Reagan was running against Carter, the Left was all about stopping nuclear proliferation, something that had been going on under the "shield" of MAD for decades. Reagan recognize it was idiotic and said so.

MAD was the basis for the entire Cold War. You want to go back to that?

Reagan ended it by recognizing just how stupid the concept of MAD was.

And now you tell us it "works"?
