Wo wir gerade schon fast beim Atomkrieg waren: Jason Kottke hat eine „sch\u00f6ne“ Idee des Rechtwissenschaftler Roger Fisher zur Verhinderung eines Atomkriegs ausgegraben, die dieser 1981 in einem Artikel namens „Preventing nuclear war“ propagierte. Danach sollte der US-Pr\u00e4sident, vor der Nutzung von Nuklearwaffen zun\u00e4chst eine unschuldige Person mit blo\u00dfen H\u00e4nden umbringen m\u00fcssen, um an die Abschusscodes zu kommen \u2013 um so aus erster Hand zu erfahren, wie es ist, Mord an Unschuldigen zu begehen:
\n\nMy suggestion was quite simple: Put that needed code number in a little capsule, and then implant that capsule right next to the heart of a volunteer. The volunteer would carry with him a big, heavy butcher knife as he accompanied the President. If the President ever wanted to fire nuclear weapons, the only way he could do so would be for him first, with his own hands, to kill one human being. The President says, \u201cGeorge, I\u2019m sorry but tens of millions must die.\u201d He has to look at someone and realize what death is \u2014 what innocent death is. Blood on the White House carpet. It\u2019s reality brought home.
