> The same crazy idea might not resurface, but someone in the distant future will maybe (likely?) find some of our own, present-day convictions and schemes equally harebrained (like - cough - a renewed all out arms race involving multiple types of WMDs ...). I don't think we need to wait for the future, I think most normal people living now would already consider this entire situation crazy. The situation and context is obviously complex, but I doubt there are many people outside governments who think a WMD arms race is a good idea.
