Nearly 40 years after the concept of finite deterrence was popularized by the Johnson administration, nuclear Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) thinking appears to be in decline. The United States has rejected the notion that threatening population centers with nuclear attacks is a legitimate way to assure deterrence. Most recently, it withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, an agreement based on MAD. American opposition to MAD also is reflected in the Bush administration's desire to develop smaller, more accurate nuclear weapons that would reduce the number of innocent civilians killed in a nuclear strike. Still, MAD is influential in a number of ways. First, other countries, like China, have not abandoned the idea that holding their adversaries' cities at risk is necessary to assure their own strategic security. Nor have U.S. and allied security officials and experts fully abandoned the idea. At a minimum, acquiring nuclear weapons is still viewed as being sensible to face off a hostile neighbor that might strike one's own cities. Thus, our diplomats have been warning China that Japan would be under tremendous pressure to go nuclear if North Korea persisted in acquiring a few crude weapons of its own. Similarly, Israeli officials have long argued, without criticism, that they would not be second in acquiring nuclear weapons in the Middle East. Indeed, given that Israelis surrounded by enemies that would not hesitate to destroy its population if they could, Washington finds Israel's retention of a significant nuclear capability totally "understandable."

A destitute tenant farmer, in Pyung Yang, Korea, gives away his twelve year old son to the nationalist patriot, Doh Sahn, in 1908. Following the ardent Patriot, thrusts the teenager into the midst of an international struggle raging in the Korean Peninsula. Japan proceeds to annex Korea into the Japanese Empire. The Patriot fights to thwart the annexation. As the Japanese police close in, the Patriot and the teenager escape to Tsingtao and Vladivostok; the two finally reach New York in 1911, as Korea is no more. The teenager struggles alone to survive in America, and enters Asbury College in Kentucky. Rev. Robert Nahm-Soo Chung in 1926 returns to his homeland. His Evangelistic Crusade Team carries a huge tent of six thousand capacity, on a van-truck provided by American campgrounds and churches. The Team travels even to the remote areas of the Peninsula. He preaches to the throngs suffering under the Japanese, during their darkest hours. Hundreds of thousands of people come to Jesus. He suffers torture in the Japanese prison, for preaching the gospel, and for his close tie with the Patriot. You will walk through his tears and triumphs to preach the gospel. Paul M. Chung, PH.D, is a retired engineering Professor and Dean Emeritus of an engineering college.
