Reagan was famously disturbed by MAD as well, and believed both in missile defense and in finding ideas for a limited war.<BR/><BR/>Most of the large center in foreign policy disputes and arms control believed in MAD and opposed ideas of looking for limited wars. They believed that MAD would keep the big nuclear parties from starting wars against each other, and that if we came up with a plan for a successful limited war, a winnable war, that would make war more likely, not less. Therefore, the moderate establishment actively fought war plans that weren't predicated on MAD.<BR/><BR/>Hawks were more likely to believe that a limited war must be possible, and to favor finding ways to prevent mutually assured destruction. While the left tended to also be disturbed by MAD, the peace faction favored getting around the problem by laying down our own arms.John Thackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269867695937765049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1132937224292476172005-11-25T10:47:00.000-06:002005-11-25T10:47:00.000-06:00Do I detect another liberal canard here, that 'mil...Do I detect another liberal canard here, that 'military hawk' equates to 'someone who wants total nuclear war'?PatCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920623662477828662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1132929272801768062005-11-25T08:34:00.000-06:002005-11-25T08:34:00.000-06:00Mickey: One of Young's most misunderstood songs. ...Mickey: One of Young's most misunderstood songs. <BR/><BR/>Recall - <I>Tin soldiers and Nixon coming... we're finally on our own...</I>Meadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316388500723034455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1132928280747469542005-11-25T08:18:00.000-06:002005-11-25T08:18:00.000-06:00Even Richard Nixon has got soul-NeilYoungEven Richard Nixon has got soul-NeilYoungAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
