In reply to the paradox of deterrence, posted by zeugma on November 3, 2005, at 22:59:47
although i am reviving a moribund thread, i would be remiss in neglecting an article that explains better than I could the inner workings of this paradox. I believe that present events having to do with the rather frequent leaks these days having to do with the present administration and the CIA are a variation on this theme, inasmuch as no country can function as a house divided (as Lincoln put it).
It goes without whose moral stature I consider superior, when comparing Nixon with the present figure in the position. I weep for what has happened to my country.
