The notion the Edward teller was the lone traitor from the generally peace loving scientifi community to defect to the nuclear loony camp is not quite true. Edward teller was far from the only scientific luminary who advocated a nuclear Pearl harbor against the USSR and believed killing most of the innocent civil population of the communist world in a sneak attack was not morally wrong, and was a small price to pay for achieving victory for the cause of "freedom".
One often repeated quote from another highly influential scientist is "if you say bomb communist russia tomorrow, I say why not today? If you say bomb russia by noon, I say why not before breakfast?"
