Nuclear Weapons: The MAD Men and the Silent Sane

from Dissident Voice by Jim McCluskey

President Kennedy warned us all in 1962 with the words ‘The world was not meant to be a prison in which man awaits his execution’.
We are still in a prison waiting our execution. The MAD men (Mutual Assured Destruction) are still in charge. They have in excess of 2000 nuclear weapons ready to go at the press of a button. This can happen at any time by accident, by misunderstanding or by malicious intent. Why do we, the citizens of the planet, tolerate this truly insane situation? We, the citizens, do not want it – that’s for sure. We are not MAD men.
Who wants them?
