Snap, I just tried to post this. Well good it's getting votes, I hope it escapes the queue.

Scary indeed.

I just spent half an hour trying to find this thing again. There you are, little video.

EDIT: Much as I like this vid, it is a skosh over-simplistic and I want to quote from another comment I made on another video:

"Nukes are terrible things, but they may be responsible for the fact that we never had a world war in the second half of the 20th century. If both superpowers hadn't had a nuclear deterrent, who's to say the Cold War wouldn't have turned into WW3?

"It's weird not to be able to unequivocally say "I wish we could disinvent nuclear weapons"; occasionally I do say it, but then stop and wonder whether their threat of tremendous harm has persuaded humans not to engage in other great harm."
