Jeff- I have to say I felt a lot more comfortable knowing where those ICBM's were pointed than I do now- no one knows
where the hell they are now.
Mutually Assured Destruction really only works when both sides are reluctant to die.
We knew what they were then, and we knew what we'd be facing. There are many, many documents, articles and scholarly treatises that warned of what was coming down the Islamic pike. At any rate, I just sleep so much better now knowing that badasses like Cheney and Dubya got our back.
