Half a century later, the left's spin continues.

Slightly off topic, I recieved an e-mail from Peter Kuran that he is working on a documentary of the neutron bomb.

The idea of peace through strength is reflected also in the book by John Lott More Guns, Less Crime. It's simply logical you don't attack someone who's prepared and alert.

Seems paradoxical that peace activists are the real warmongers. Curious...

Yes, I do not think there is any question that the Soviets would not have been able to develop the H-bomb. From what I have read, Sakharov had it dialed in as far as theory, and did it without the spy net used for the fission bomb.

Teller may have gotten a bit loony later in life, but he was right in the need to develop the bomb. A world with the 1950's Soviets with the bomb and us without would not gave been to secure.

Teller testified against Oppenheimer at his at Oppenheimer’s AEC security clearance hearing.

thorium-based nuclear fuel, can’t blow up, can’t melt down, is more plentiful than uranium, doesn’t need to be enriched before using, less expensive than current power plants and very nearly idiot proof, even an eco freak could do it.

Teller’s bomb was perhaps the only invention designed to make its own use obsolete.

I'm pretty sure this was said of the machine gun, before WWI.

Edward Teller, the man that pronounced “Nuclear” as “NuKUlar”, just like GWB, those dummies.
