Agreed, it is a tricky matter, at least during the Cold War, both sides could agree to the idea of MAD…

That’s right, and fighting a conventional war against a nation state is very different than fighting against these random grouping of terrorists whose only goal seems to be to kill as many civilians as they can in order to terrorize those they hate. That we struggle with our conscience is one of the things that separates us from the terrorists.
