The idea that the cold war was bad is bad in the purly empirical standard of logic. No Nuke bombs, no exentential wars.

I'm not worried about nuclear weapons at all. Are you worried about them? I simply stated that nuclear weapons have not mitigated the need for war; rather, they have exaserbated it. People lived productive lives before nuclear weapons, as they live them today, but stating that nuclear weapons are responsible for the standard of living may be a case of viewing history through rose-colored glasses.
