RE: Did you ever see the movie Fail Save where the president dropped a nuclear bomb on New York despite the fact his wife was there That is a movie right ? What I see in real world is bombs are dropped despite that fact that 'civilians'(usually of the other side) are there.

> So would a brain surgeon do a better job if the patient's family held a knife to the surgeon's son's throat? Your analogy is not right. I did not say that we'd send high ranking official's sons into blazing glory. I said they should be part of the initiative in a way that would provide first hand experience with the war. And as a matter of fact, I do think the quality of brain surgeons would be highly reduced if there could be no law suites or precautions against malpractice. What are the protections against malpractice in declaring war? > Did you ever see the movie Fail Save where the president dropped a nuclear bomb on New York despite the fact his wife was there? No but I think you just proved my point. I am sure he thought about that decision much harder than about Nagasaki. So it was less likely he made a mistake. ST
