Well, not so mutual. It'd be a long time after Iran started making bombs before they had enough to actually wipe us out and even longer before it was assured, whereas right now we could turn their entire country into a glass floored, self lighting parking lot and it wouldn't even make a dent in our nuke inventory.

Sounds like something President Bush would say.

Speaking of which, time to trot this out again

It's a little dated but helps paint a better picture of America's best 21st century president.

Mutual Assured Destruction ended in the 70's and 80's.

Cap Wineberger and members of the Le May clique were all propents of Nuclear Utilization Theory.

Carter and Rickover were still in favor of MAD.

The Trident Submarine was a MAD weapon.

The MX Missle, B1 Bomber, and Star Wars were all NUT weapons.
