Both systems could be implemented together, thus eliminating the preemptive strike problem. We could then begin to bilaterally disarm, and the world could live happily ever after. If fact, let it be a UN project, with as many observers/participants as possible. If we let every Tom, Dick and Harry in, nobody would get hyper and start nukin' the others. At lease all the current nuke powers should be involved. Twenty years from now, people might be looking at Nukes as the totally unfeasible idea. After all, they'd just get zapped.....
