Sorry Jim, I did not get that at all in the past. I assumed a
context where the inner workings of AP would not be well understood
by the population while here, you seems to indicate that everybody
would operate under the threat / deterrance of mutual anihilation
principle.
A argued that an impulsive guy might target somebody unjustifiably
while I overlooked that he could think twice before doing so. But by
his nature, being a violent or thug at heart, he will understand this
"peace based on threat" maybe even better than a pacifist at heart.
So, my arguments might not stand.
Have any constructive comments? (hey, just play devil's advocate from
time to time :)
