We can play this a number of ways..... 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. ... Now explain to me how MAD stopped the Japanese again? Hint: what does the letter "M" stand for? Your first two sentences indicate that you have applied the "MAD" concept to WWII and the Japanese. The last sentence indicates that "MAD" doesn't apply to WWII and the Japanese because "M" stands for "Mutual". Which way do you want to play? MAD applies to WWII and the Japanese or it doesn't and your first point is totally irrelevent? jttmab
