Of course, on the other end, Farm, if we did not have nukes, who's to say that we wouldn't of had more wars between the major powers, as there were no fears of MAD?

Thats very much true. I definetely think the cold war would have been a whole lot hotter.

But its a sad state of affairs when a weapon of awesome destruction can at once both have the ability to destroy the human race and deter us from huge conflicts between evenly matched nations. War is such a grey area of the human condition. So many variables and even the ones that lead to less destruction still cause distruction most of the time.

Thats why I'm decidedly anti-war. I wouldn't call myself a pacifist intellectually as such a position isn't really pragmatic but in my heart I am.

 

Doesn't that describe... pretty much everybody?

I've met few people who LIKE war... as far as real life situations anyway.

I mean, ask somebody if they want their country to go to war with somebody... I'm going to guess they're going to have a reason they see as pragmatic.
