I think we owe a lot to nukes. I was always in the camp that added a postscript to the "ban the bomb!" idiots...

"Ban the bomb! (save the world for conventional warfare)"

Sans atomic weapons we'd certainly have ended up with WW3, IMHO. People seem to forget how very good at killing people we got during WW2 before nukes.

I'm not against dismantling devices that are no longer needed, but dismantling those that are needed is a different matter.
