So I guess this means I can't play SH4 any more?

Seriously, it is good to celebrate the ending of a terrible war. May we never see the likes of this war again.

We must be doing something right for it seems that we are allies with almost everyone who was involved in this terrible war.

They are called existential weapons and they are nuclear. Nuclear weapons have kept major wars at bay for the longest period sinse almost forever.

Or, you could argue that nuclear weapons have been an underlying reason for almost every major conflict since 1945.

I guess our definition of major conflict is different. If one looks at history the deaths in conflicts since the advent of nuclear tech., has always been on a much smaller scale with fewer powers involved, and by consequence less people dead.

There is the world many wish to live in, and the world that we do live in, and nuclear weapons have done much to save lives.

Actually because of nuclear weapons we endured a 45 year period known as the Cold War. As a result several accidents almost wiped mankind from the face of the Earth.

Almost perhaps. But without them it would have certainly meant war. I give you WWI as an example. An arch-duke assasinated by an anarchistic Serbian gave us WWI. If Nukes existed do you think one man would cause a world war? As counter point JFK was assasinated by one Soviet expatriot. No war.
