Wasn't "balance of terror" a phrase used to describe the nuclear standoff of the Cold War/the policy adopted by the US and USSR in maintaing huge nuclear arsenals to ensure no one had the upper hand (thereby ensuring peace)? If I am right (and I may well be wrong), should we disambiguate, or place a note at the top directing someone to Balance of terror (policy). Or should we wait until I or someone else writes such an article? Any thoughts? Jwrosenzweig 21:35, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

That would be balance of terror (which there is one link to). I odn't think disambiguating by case is so bad here. Morwen 21:37, Dec 17, 2003 (UTC)
So, if I search "balance of terror" on Google, could I end up at this site first? And end up deciding to go elsewhere? How could we steer someone who accidentally ended up at the wrong article? Jwrosenzweig 21:40, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Well, if you do search today; you get star trek as hit 2, 4, 5. :) Maybe a small disambig note at the top of this page. Morwen 21:44, Dec 17, 2003 (UTC)
