	Albert Wohlstetter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Albert Wohlstetter (born 1913, died January 10, 1997) was a major intellectual force behind efforts to avoid the spread of nuclear weapons and the need to develop nonnuclear alternatives.
		For Wohlstetter and his pupils, MAD was both immoral -- because of the destruction inflicted on civilian populations -- and ineffective: it led to the mutual neutralization of nuclear arsenals.
		Wohlstetter died in Los Angeles in 1997 at the age of 83.

		Albert and his wife Roberta, who survives him, worked as a team during this last half century, and the pair received the Medal of Freedom from President Reagan in 1985.
		Wohlstetter’s career as a strategic analyst was guided by certain key principles, including his conviction that the United States should be able to control its military forces in such a way as to permit varying the American response to foreign aggression according to the circumstances.
		Wohlstetter’s paper "resulted in a change of Strategic Air Command’s basing policy so that bombers were based far from the Soviet Union, and their bases, highly protected.

		Wohlstetter's imprint is to be seen in virtually every aspect of national security -- from the earliest evolutions of U.S. nuclear policy and programs to the ongoing travesty of President Clinton's handling of the genocidal conflict in Bosnia.
		Albert Wohlstetter's was a voice of reason and integrity, of principle and genius.

		Wolfowitz: Wohlstetter is a much more relevant figure and it's interesting too, by the way, that the same fellow who, or one of the same fellows who discovered the Straussian Conspiracy kind of throws Wohlstetter in as a Straussian when Wohlstetter was actually philosophically a student of Willard Van Orman Quine (http://www.wvquine.org/wvq-obit.html) [(1908-2000)].
		Albert Wohlstetter was one of the first people, most influential people, to understand what a dramatic difference it would make to have accurate weapons.
		Albert Wohlstetter's name has been linked with those of a number of neoconservatives affiliated with the Bush administration and the Department of Defense, the University of Chicago, as well as appearing to share other common threads with Paul Dundes Wolfowitz, Richard N. Perle, Donald Rumsfeld, Ahmed Chalabi, William Kristol, and Irving Kristol.

	Bosnia Report - February-May 1997 - Remembering Albert Wohlstetter
		Albert was an extraordinary American who enjoyed the powerful gift of being able to combine a lifelong quest for truth and answers to our country's most critical and urgent security challenges with a clear moral vision.
		In the years that we knew him, Albert Wohlstetter devoted much of his formidable energies to the pursuit of a just and sustainable solution to the crisis in Bosnia.
		Characteristically, Albert cut through the fog and, in article after article and meeting after meeting, carefully explained that the Milosevic regime in Belgrade was executing a clear plan to create a 'Greater Serbia' carved from Bosnian and Croatian territory and purged of non-Serbs.

		Wohlstetter punctures the notion that we are painted into a "Red or dead' corner--a notion given some respectability by scientific reports predicting that a devastating "nuclear winter' would kill what life remained after a nuclear war.
		Wohlstetter cites a number of different kinds of uncertainties that would considerably affect the chances for a nuclear winter, but to which nuclear-winter theorists pay no heed.
		Wohlstetter insists that there are ideologues in the West who would like "to foreclose any Western options for responding to nuclear attack other than the extremes of bringing on the apocalypse or giving up.' In the Summer issue of Foreign Affairs, they meet their match.

		Albert Wohlstetter, a classmate's father, had written an article in Foreign Affairs entitled "The Delicate Balance of Terror," and Perle found it riveting.
		By the late '50s, Wohlstetter had devised the equally groundbreaking concept of "second-strike deterrence." At the time, most people were concerned with amassing more and bigger weapons, but Wohlstetter argued that what really matters is what's left after you've been attacked-what you can muster for a second strike.
		Wohlstetter railed against this thinking, insisting it was better to target Soviet weapons rather than Soviet civilians, and arguing that decision makers needed to be able to respond to regional conflicts with non-suicidal options.

	American Dreams
		Albert Wohlstetter joined the RAND Corporation in 1949 and worked initially as a systems analysts conducting “third area defense” simulations and studying optimum basing patterns and sortie rates for nuclear bombers.
		This is why Wohlstetter disapproved of McNamara’s handling of the Vietnam war, and perhaps why he felt compelled to answer the pangs of conscience in the face of a worldwide revolt against American imperialism in 1968.
		Wohlstetter spent his last few years bitterly chastising Clinton for his inaction in the Bosnian wars, arguing in the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal that American hesitation in the face Serbian aggression against the muslims of Bosnia was a travesty, both morally and strategically.

		Wohlstetter closely studied what combination of strikes, by what quantity of bombers, flying along which trajectories, would most effectively cripple SAC in the opening phases of a conflict.
		Wohlstetter made a comprehensive case for the vulnerability of SAC in the event of a first strike, arguing that with 120 bombs the Soviets could destroy 75--85 percent of SAC's B-47 bomber fleet on the ground.
		Wohlstetter argued that even the smallest chance of vulnerability was unacceptable, given the catastrophic consequences involved in nuclear war.

		Wolfowitz, like Wohlstetter and his cronies at Rand, knew that Israel did not need nuclear desalination plants for acquiring weapons-grade plutonium, because they knew that the Dimona research reactor is a derivative of the French G-1 reactor, which was designed for the sole purpose of producing weapons-grade plutonium.

		Ronald Reagan listened to him and launched the "Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), baptized "Star Wars'', ancestor of the Anti-Missile Defense System, advocated by Wohlstetter's pupils, who became the warmest partisans of a unilateral renunciation of the ABM Treaty, which, in their eyes, impeded the United States from developing its own defense systems.

		Wohlstetter engaged in the early attempts to reformulate the traditional doctrine that had been the basis for nuclear deterrence: the so-called MAD or “Mutual Assured Destruction.” The theory holds that as both blocs had the capacity to inflict irreparable damage onto each other, their leaders would think twice before unleashing a nuclear attack.
		Wohlstetter criticized the Russian-US joint nuclear weapons control policy, which he considered amounted to bridling US technological creativity in order to maintain an artificial balance with the USSR.
