Well, Yorick, you're a little older than I. I was still terorizing the creatures in the back yard in the 70s and exploring the world on my bike in the 80s. So I can't put a perspective Cold War - even though I grew up in it. It couldn't be much different from the anxiety that I currently face in the possibility of being deployed, though. What you guys are talking about though wasn't the question. It was wether the world would be better with out nukes, and for the reasons I've stated, I don't think it would, there are too many other issues that need to be delt with.

Now as for the world you are hinting at. There is a world even better that I would rather live in. One that doesn't require me to pick up a weapon to defend myself, home, freedom, or countrymen. A world that does not seek to tear itself apart, destroy others ect. A world that lets everyone live and let live, without judgment or infringement.

So from that point I agree with you. But I also know that the city of Kubblakhan does not exist.
