I agree with Rikard more than anyone.

Some comments I dnt agree with.

1. Hitler, if he fired, you say would not have feared being retialited on. That would be IMMINENT defeat. Attacking with missiles is different from Nukes. He cant be defeated instantly, hence 5 years. As soon as the first nuke was fired, the war would be over within a fraction compared to what it was.

2. Fear is a deterrant. Why are people saying its not?

3. Nuclear Powers will never fire against another Nuclear Power. Ever.

4. I'll be surprise if a Nuclear Power ever fires against a Non-Nuclear Power.

And Yorrick, no I dnt think people would sleep easier without Nukes in the world. Ive never even dwelt on the fact they exist. And I doubt one will be fired in my lifetime. They are a deterrant. Not a weapon. And so far, as they havent been used (bar the A-bomb - which was a bomb, in a war!!!) I think that shows this.
