Mutually assured destruction, it hasn't gone away...just changed shape.

Tales from the Apocalypse M.A.D. Dr Strangelove lived in a MAD, MAD, World When fail-safe was the watchword. When bellicose tyrants spat rhetoric Astute diplomacy was overheard. Deterrent, a paradox of peace Is now a silent uncanny menace. An anvil for shoeing fairies a tinderbox, kindling dry, strike the flint, watch the scintilla enjoy a brief happy death. To be reborn again in light, a deterrent undercut. � P. Williams 2002
