114. I agree on the "micro-nukes" ... |

Though, I think they're looking for a very low yield device.
But this introduces a VERY dangerous incrementalism to MAD. I'm not sure whether foreign powers would distinguish between a .5 Megaton micro-nuke and a 200 Megaton hyrogen device.
Already we have seen Putin "up the ante" and insist that Russia needs a new nuclear weapon. Of course it's pointless. But Bush has given Putin the excuse he needs to enter a new age of nationalist militarism.
