Well I certainly agree that the keeping all kookoos occupied part is really the secret to preventing war.

Edit to add: on the It really seems like it is only a matter of time before some idiot manages to detonate a nuclear device thing, it strikes me that if long term we are to have more nuclear energy, we really will have to submit to a more stringent"new world order" global rule over it, as having nuke plants under individual unstable governments is an invitation to dirty nuke bombs and intentional nuclear accidents and the like. That or medicine has to figure out how to better counter the effects of radiation?

I really do regret the fall

It really seems like it is only a matter of time before some idiot manages to detonate a nuclear device. The idea that it might be a stateless actor really frightens a lot of the old men who were much more comfortable when mutually assured destruction (MAD) was the strategy So much so that they have organized themselves into an NGO called the Nucliear Threat Initiative and produced a documentary sharing their fears and initiatives. They offer it online as well as a free CD.
