“The Cold War philosophy of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD), which prevented the former Soviet Union and the United States from using the nuclear weapons they had targeted at each other, would not apply to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Iran.

“There is a new philosophy for weapons: it's more expensive to hurt people than to kill people. It's terrible. When you have a band of guys on the battlefield, if someone is dead, he's dead. If someone is injured then they have to take care of him, so six people are busy.” PeopleIfsPhilosophyCareGuyHurtTerribleBandSixWeaponsBusyTake CareExpensiveInjuredBattlefields Author:Jean-Pierre Jeunet
