We have more throw weight, but unless we have, as the Soviets were said to have, the ability to target each and every mile of our Adversary’s road and rail networks, the precise targeting of a few high-value targets may have most of the practical effect of a more broadly based but less discriminating attack. The first warhead turns everything to rubble; the second just makes the rubble bounce.

Interesting thoughts. There are always those who will use any system – religion, government, education, art – to control and oppress others. Is it the system that is corrupt, or the individual who uses it? Sometimes it is hard to say, and hard to see.
