This scenario, of course, was loony. Even in the most optimistic scenarios, the ?winning? side would lose at least 10 million people, and suffer hundreds of billions of dollars in damages, as a result of the retaliation. (As Gen. Buck Turgidson, the George C. Scott character, in Dr. Strangelove put it, ?I?m not saying we won?t get our hair mussed up ??) But really (readers under the age of 30 or so will have to trust me on this), educated scholars and statesmen actually held forth on such scenarios, with straight faces and ?furrowed brows, not just in the depths of the Cold War but well into the 1990s.
