One difference is that the spacial location of the button would be hard to pin down beyond "somewhere on or about the planet". A missile pretty much reveals its point of origin when you launch it. So, attribution is a difference. Another difference is that missiles that are housed in silos at fixed locations can be attacked pro-actively. But where is the button? How will you attack the button? -- Charles Polisher _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list [email protected] https://lists.immunityinc.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
