Well if not much else, at least I can say Mr. Teller possessed candor and certainly might have made an interesting fellow to talk to.
He certainly doesn't mince words when he says his mission was not to have one lab working on nuclear weapons but two. Apparently very driven and a firm proponent of 'technology'. And he didn't leave much room for doubt when he said Americans should have been more 'impressed' by the 'performance' in the Gulf War. I guess from a purely 'strategic' angle maybe he has a point. I saw his PhD was from Liepzig Germany. Made me wonder if he was ever in contact with Nazi influences.
From a human point of view though and one told to me first hand from a good friend who Walked the "Highway of death" and drove over people in trenches in tanks and buried them alive, and participated in killing 'anything that moved ' within a large radius, and slept on the floor for months in the kitchen when he came home because he was so screwed up, we can be compassionate and hope Mr. Teller hasn't been reborn to suffer perhaps a fate at the end of one of his own creations. I would have to imagine that might change his whole perspective.
In any case the man seemed a very intelligent and inventive fellow and the "sky shield' plan he seems to have also promoted seems to have been implemented at least perhaps in part.
