| Hello,
|
| Have you ever wondered, what would happen if the other side launched 
their
| missiles, starting a nuclear war ?
|
| Let's suppose the Russians launch all nukes at USA.
|
| The USA General is faced with a slight dilemma... if he/she launches 
too...
| or the president/whatever... then he/she may be deciding the faith 
of
| humanity: "total destruction" / "end of humanity".
|
| What to do ? Launch or not Launch ? Is there an alternative ? =D
|
| Today I present to you an alternative:
|
| Instead of counter-launching everything, the conclusion could be:
|
| 1. USA is doomed, the nuclear missiles cannot all be stopped, most 
of the
| land will be radiated.
|
| Let's assume the goal is to "maximize" survivability of the human 
race.
|
| Then the only option is not to launch their nuclear arsenal, because 
that
| would radiate russia too and the rest of the world.
|
| So the logical conclusion seems to be:
|
| 2. Don't radiatate Russia back... instead order a massive evacuation 
of the
| USA and invade Russia to take their unradiated land from their hands 
! :) So
| humanity can life forth =D
|
| Funny alternative isn't it ? :)
|
| Bye,
|  Skybuck.


Rather than base your thinking on the movie "On The Beach"  You would 
have much more to offer by reading "On  Thermonuclear War" by Herman 
Kahn.  His book explains the full range of alternatives based on 
research conducted for the Air Force by the Rand Corporation.
