Re: "Thieteen Days"

***It is sobering to realize how close the world came to nuclear disaster in 1962.

Actually, that part is debatable. On both sides of the pond the leaders were doing their best at trying to avoid such an outcome, and frankly, I do not see much chance either Kennedy or Khruschev would ever issue such an order.

I suspect both of them would have waited for a direct attack on their soils, meaning this would have not happened.

Going into an all out WWIII over a sunk submarine happens in the movies, and hopefully continue to exist in the movies only.

We were lucky there were people of reason on both sides (yes, even Khruschev), and this is exactly why that experience does not apply to places like NK and Iran.
