It’s a shame this man never really got the credit he deserved for an amazingly level headed and important decision.
However he will know on his death bed that himself alone avoided millions of deaths.

Enter your reply text here. OK

An ordinary person in the position of power, at a time of huge circumstance. People at this time usually have adrenaline for leadership and intuitive skills are bolstered. Colonel Stanislav Petrov “had to” do his method and so would many of you. It is not hard to be “brave ballsy” in a “have to” situation.

Personally, I thank Jehovah God. Psalms 83:18, Psalms 37:29, Psalms 115:16, Ecclesiastes 1:4, Isaiah 45:18, Matthew 5:5, and Revelation 11:18b states “…and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”//////////

Although I do not consider myself a Bible scholar, //////////I am familiar with them and use them quite often…. ////////////////////I was using the King James version…not sure how much the New World translation differs on these verses.///////////////////////////////////////

I love in America we have the right (thank you George Washington – call me Mr. President) to say Fuck Religion & Faith is Salvation in the same sentence. Also, Colonel Stanislav Petrov problobly is an athiest commie. Even he would not want to destroy the world. He is a hero.

“September 26th, 1983 doesn’t stick out in the annals of history as a day to remember.” …Except it was my birthday….. Huzzar indeed for Stan!

I am currently reading “The Purpose Driven Life”, by Rick Warren. No I am not a holy-roller, and Thank God that I’m not a jehovahs witness, but I am looking for the purpose of my life. Damn good book! Everyone should read it (even you jehovahs witnesses). Anyway, it seems like “Stan” found out his purpose in life. Thanks for “thinking” buddy! It’s tough to be unpopular…but “what if” you are right. It takes balls to carry through with your intentions; what a pity that there isn’t enough people out there with them (ie “balls”). Millions of us around the world owe you a bit of Thanks.

Not that it matters. But besides Stan being an obvious gut instinct hero, which he most certainly is, I would like some clarification please. During the cold war you have several different countries with “bombs and missles” to wreak havoc across the globe. One of the countries launches. The alarm is sounded and weather or not the missle(s) is aimed at them, retaliatin takes place. Did I get the jist of this. Woah!!! Can I get a Damn Interesting “Hip-hip-hooray” for Stan.

An astounding example that would fit perfectly in Malcolm Gladwell’s new book “Blink” which says that gut decisions and intuitions, when accepted properly, are usually more right than “official scientific evidence” which can be very biased, focus on the wrong aspects or plain wrong. Absolutely fantastic that he resisted the urge to retaliate in sucha time and position, because his instincts said it did not make sense. Truly commendable not as “a genius” or anything, but as a brave and intelligent man who knew how to interpret his gut instincts. He would even get a high five from me, and I don’t hand those out so easily.
