Good post CC,
The parts of the report more interesting to me are the 'religion as rationale' perspectives they subscribe to.
A lot of the strategic and technological differences are more-less off setting in a lot of ways, as no one really would win a nuclear war.
The emphasis on 'protecting Western ways of life' is over looked a lot of the time too. What does that even mean? Protecting our over consumption against the worlds poor? Limiting the Global South's access to control over natural resources?
Obviously measures have to be done to limit N. Korea and Iran, etc., but we're not talking a zero sum outcome...Or at least there's a chance we aren't.
I guess it goes back to the North wind vs. the Sun argument.
