nuclear rogue

Maybe not, but there seems something different, and scarier, about 
their trying to prepare us for their use. Sure, the Strangeloves of 
yore threatened, and might have nuked a recalcitrant enemy, but the 
official posture was always ambiguous and cautious. If Hartung is 
right, and this is the victory of a formerly marginal strand of 
right-wing thinking going back at least 20 years, then the lunatics 
have taken over. Even Nixon looked saner than this.

I had a flash of yearning involving a daisy and Barry Goldwater.
