None at all.

Firstyousaid 100million dead.
:06:45
Firstyousaid 100million dead.
:06:49
Nowyou say 60 million.
:06:51
I say 60 million is perhaps
the highest price...

:06:54
we should be prepared
to pay in a war.

:06:56
What's the difference between
60 million dead and a hundred million?

:07:00
- Forty million.
- Some difference.

:07:03
Areyou saying saving 40 million lives
is ofno importance?

:07:06
You miss the point, Professor.
:07:08
Saving those 60 million lives
is what's important.

:07:12
Face facts, Mr. Foster.
We're talking about war.

:07:15
Everywar, including thermonuclearwar,
must have a winner and a loser.

:07:19
Which would you rather be?
:07:21
In a nuclearwar, everyone loses.
War isn't what it used to be.

:07:25
It's still the resolution
ofeconomic and political conflict.

:07:27
What kind ofresolution
with 1 00 million dead?

:07:31
- It doesn't have to be 1 00 million.
- Even 60!

:07:34
The same
as a thousand years ago, sir...

:07:36
when you also had wars
that wiped out whole peoples.

:07:39
The point is still who wins and who
loses, the survival ofa culture.

:07:44
A culture?
:07:45
With most ofits people dead...
:07:47
the rest dying,
the food poisoned...

:07:50
the air unfit to breathe.
:07:52
- You call that a culture?
- Yes, I do.

:07:55
I am not a poet.
I'm a political scientist...

:07:58
who would rather have an American
culture survive than a Russian one.
