MAD doesn't work on a suicidal enemy. We learned that lesson in WWII against the Japanese and it will appear people of your political views will have to learn it over again.

You're worse off than I thought.

First. NEWS FLASH FOR STEVE HARRIS: WWII ... JAPAN SURRENDERED!

Second. Your "response" is to this statement.

"It might on the pre-condition that Iran and NK thought it wouldn't."

That's not MAD you idiot. That's straightforward military execution. If NK or Iran thought that BMD actually worked they wouldn't fire a missile, they would use a different delivery delivery system.

The only way to stop someone willing to die to kill you, is to kill them before they kill you.

Which is pretty close to the philosophy of the Sunni and Shia deaths squads. Something you have in common with death squads. The only thing you've left out is torture them first to make an example. But that's a small step, you'll get there.
