Fear is a tactic that's been used for all of history, and it will not stop. Since the last time major explosives were used, the likelihood of it happening again, outside of a major world war are slim. If we are in that situation, all bets are off anyway, as many countries could end the world if they wanted to. No need to worry about icbm's or nuc's in general imo.

True, but there is a difference depending on who has them. Iran keeps the "Death to America" out in the open, even after this "deal", so wouldn't it be reasonable that some crazy religious fanatics could launch them our way? It's not completely out of the possibility.
