Jeez, quote two lines out of the article and discard the rest so that you
can post a followup that misses the whole point, why don't you?  My entire 
post was in response to a guy who called SDI "Mutual Assured Survival".  The 
part you excerpted was only a piece of a criticism of the mutuality and the 
assuredness of "MAS".  I did not conclude that it couldn't or shouldn't be
done, only that it was not "mutual" or "assured", as the original poster, a 
software engineer at one of the SDI testbeds, asserted.
