Seminar Reflection
A lot of things were said in the seminar that hep clear up a few things on what we learned in class. Some things that were said were like Dr. Strangelove's name which makes sense when the subtitle is put into it as well. I think that people were right to say that Dr. Strangelove's views still had some Nazi views inside it. They also related Herman Kahn to Strangelove on the bunkers that should be built to help survivors. In Fail-Safe the president bombed New York after Moscow which also relates to Kahn who doesn't care if there has to be a few casualties. I think that my classmates have got the right idea about Herman Kahn, Fail Safe, and Dr. Strangelove. I think that a lot of them were still a bit confused on what was going on beforehand. I find it interesting how Kahn and Strangelove talk about after the war as if it isn't too bad of an event. In Fail Safe I think they are are trying to take advantage of the nuclear war before it starts.. Most of my questions were cleared up and I understood the rest of it.

It's good that you shared your opinion on the confused leaders. Important thing to remember is the context... everyone was confused because no one had ever faced a nuclear crisis.
