    The scenario you posit requires a leader of a nation to be so completely irrational as to initiate an action that guarantees the complete and total destruction of their entire country. There is absolutely no evidence that any leader in the world is this irrational. Individuals like Hussein, Qaddafi, Il Jong or Castro may be vicious, sociopathic, megalomaniacal killers but they have never shown an indifference to their personal self-preservation.

    Have you seen the Fog of War? If you want to believe Mcnamara, Castro was pushing to strike the US, Cuba's annihilation be damned.

    Not sure if this qualifies as off-topic or not, but I do a lot of typing Ancient Greek myself and have found some very useful and very free ways to do it in unicode. Check out Tavultesoft Keyman and Keyman developer (http://www.tavultesoft.com/). With a list of the codes for the various glyphs you can write your own keyboard. I hope this is useful, and I'd be eager to know if you're using something better.
