...Under the New Paradigm, wiretapping Americans without a warrant and abusing detainees until they confessed to something became not only permissible but necessary. Indeed, ruthless, seemingly irrational enemies only responded to force, so force was what they deserved. Historical precedents, such as the successful “rapport-building” interrogations of Nazi war criminals or other countries’ experiences countering terrorism, proved irrelevant in such a new world. Taken at face value, there is something appealing about the concept of wiping the slate clean and starting anew, eliminating the historical record much like the government of Oceania...

Then both sides developed antiballistic missiles, but they soon learned that these could be overwhelmed by missiles with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles, known as MIRVs. The way in which ABMs provoked MIRVs is the classic paradigm of an ''offense-defense spiral.'' The resulting proliferation of MIRVs has been one of the most disruptive factors in both the preservation of strategic stability and the quest for arms control. Today the stockpiles of the superpowers are roughly comparable in overall size, and the U.S. has an edge...
