:29:01
Ifwe saywe can fight
a limited warwith nuclearweapons...
:29:05
we let everyone offthe hook.
:29:06
It's what theywant to hear.
:29:08
We canjust keep doing what we're doing,
and nobody really gets hurt.
:29:12
Butyou can't fight a limited war,
and you know it.
:29:14
I'm not so sure.
:29:16
There's no such thing
as a limited war anymore.
:29:19
Not with hydrogen bombs.
:29:22
Once those bombs start to drop,
you won't be able to limit a thing.
:29:26
Areyou advocating disarmament?
:29:34
I don't know.
:29:36
It's the logic ofyour position.
:29:39
Peculiar reversal.
The press would be interested.
:29:42
The military man who is the dove,
and the civilian who is the hawk.
:29:49
We're going too fast.
:29:52
Things are getting out ofhand.
:29:53
Can you be more specific, General?
:29:57
We're all trying
to make war more efficient.
:29:58
- That's ourjob.
- And we're succeeding.
:30:01
We now have the capacity to blow up
the whole world several times over.
:30:05
Which does not mean
we must do it.
:30:07
We won't be able to stop from doing it.
That's the logic ofyour position.
:30:13
We're setting up a war machine
that acts faster...
:30:15
than the ability ofmen
to control it.
:30:17
We're putting men into situations
that are too tough for men to handle.
:30:21
Then we must toughen the men.
:30:22
Suppose they launch
a first strike against us?
:30:26
Then we retaliate,
and we're all finished.
:30:29
Would you prefer
that onlywe were finished?
:30:33
We have to prepare.
:30:37
We're preparing.
We've got to slow down.
:30:42
I disagree.
We have got to speed up.
:30:45
Naturally,
that means taking risks...
:30:48
but our intention is always
to minimize those risks.
:30:51
Ofcourse, we can only control
our own actions.
:30:54
Our concept oflimited war is based
on an equal rationality by the Russians.
:30:59
It also presupposes there will be
no accidents on either side.
