The last time nukes were used in war was more than 50 years ago, probably nobody that can decide about a nuclear strike now was an adult so long ago. There ain't no such think as a "collective wisdom", the horrors of a nuclear war may seem too abstract to the guys that can push the button.
OTOH, maybe one or two nukes exploding each 50 or so years _may_ be the price humanity has to pay to prevent a Global Nuclear War :-/ Alberto Monteiro
