Yes, we lack the capability at this time (1990 and even today). I'm not sure why a followup post said "No" as if there's any evidence to support that we can destroy human life on earth...much less habitable or even just inhabited lands. I immediately stopped and thought, oh jeeze, now I know some of these numbers are made up.

Fallout would be less of a problem with a smaller nuclear war. Remember, more than half the earth's population is concentrated in urban centers. It would be possible to kill that many people covering relatively little land area.
