Re Jim's: "Was Russell a fraud? A loveable one perhaps. In later life
he campaigned
against the bomb and the Vietnam War (organising a war crimes tribunal
with his secretary, Ralph Schoenman - what happened to him?), but early
after the second world war he recommended a pre-emptive nuclear strike
against the then un-nuclear soviets."
I don't ever recall hearing that Bertrand Russell called for any kind of
nuclear strike against anyone. Quite a shocker if true. Could you cite
a source on this?
