Nuclear weapons are the greatest instruments of world peace ever conceived. Don't you think we'd have had another set of massive industrial total wars in the 20th century had it not been for MAD? As it is, we've had only a few occasional brush fires. There is practically zero risk of an actual nuclear exchange. If you waved a magic wand and eradicated all nuclear weapons and other forms of mass destruction, you'd return us to a world of bloodshed and horror. It's counter-intuitive, but it's true.
