I once pondered: Why has God yet to curse us for making such terrible things, such terrible devices, as nuclear weapons. I then found my answer: They are, in themselves, the curse.
Actually I think that nukes and other WoMDs are a gift as well, a double edged sword.
They insure that countries don't go to war on a massive scale due to fear of Total Annhilation.
Nukes are an insurance, as long as religious fanatics and zealots don't get hold of them there's nothing to fear. And even if WWIII comes into reality it'll be fought with only conventional weapons. There's the possibility of it ending with Total Annhilation though...
Insure? When you are fighting against people who think if they die killing jews they will go to heaven and constantly state they have no care for this life what would stop them from killing themselves and everyone else?
