how many millions and millions would have died if the cold war was a nuclear-free hot war?Yet somehow countries functioned just fine before the invention of the A-bomb. Sure, there was conflict - but I'd hardly call the current world a conflict free one.

obviously it's all conjecture, but I thought this was interesting reading: http://www.e-ir.info/?p=3143It's impossible to say whether any war would even have eventuated. I don't know how you can possibly extrapolate with the facts known.
Fail. That saved millions of American lives.
American bombed two civilian targets almost immediately after mastering the nuke. I find it a bit funny being lectured in nuclear proliferation by the citizens of the only country which has ever used nukes in warfare.

Despite what your mommy told you, opinions can be wrong. Someone who thinks a nuclear bomb is a net positive contribution to a global society is a moron.
If we were not afraid of that we'd be afraid of something else. The fact is that the concept of MAD works. The fear of nukes prevents their use and it prevents other countries from messing with those of us that have them.There has not been a nuke used in anger is more than 60 years. In the history of mankind has the most powerful weapon ever not been used in that time frame? Nope, as soon as a country built an ultimate weapon they were in a hurry to use it.
Mutually Assured destruction is a construct of the Military Industrial Complex...
OP
bacon
seriously, I would have six pack abs if not for bacon..
Just because one opinion differs from your own, does not make it wrong. Maybe your mommy should have taught you that.
LOL @ people who honestly seem to think the world is a better place with the A-bomb.
people are entitled to their own opinions, they are not entitled to their own facts
you are right. the A-bomb has killed far to many. Lets destroy them all and go back to good old trench warfare and mustard gas..

I was unaware that bacon was of such recent origin.bacon
