What do you think about Kahn’s ideas after having read more of the article and having seen the film? Why do you hold these ideas?
I think that Kahn is correct in most of his theories about how Nuclear War is quite possible and countries can win it. I don't think he was insane or anything because his ideas just make sense, I don't know why other people did not see it as well. Anti nuclear missiles can take out the enemy's nuclear missiles and that countries would take sides with the country that has the higher chance of winning. Like when Herman Kahn said that by making nuclear shelters it will make countries side with the U.S. because it has a higher chance of survivability. I can't relate to the movie very well because I can't remember exactly what it was about and what the argument was. I think that Herman Kahn would be very much like the philosopher inside the movie that talked about Nuclear War.

i like how you said khan was like a philosopher to the movie fail-safe because he was good job aowei, you incorporated what you thought.
Going somewhat against your opinion, I think that Kahn's theories on nuclear war being winnable is false if multiple countries were to join the war with their own nuclear weapons. All of these nuclear weapons combined can mean the destruction of the world, even with many fallout shelters. I don't think that anti-nuclear missiles will be able to detect the ones that are fired underwater from submarines.
