There's no need to worry about a nuclear war
Article Abstract:
The threat of a nuclear war appeared to recede after the cold war ended, but this perception may be mistaken. There appears to be less likelihood of a major nuclear holocaust, but a smaller nuclear exchange may have become more likely. There is likely to be an increase in the number of states possessing nuclear weapons. This means that their usage is more likely, for example if a country is invaded. There are risks of accidents, and criminals or terrorists could gain control of nuclear weapons.

Article Abstract:
World leaders disagree over the necessity of banning the use and storage of nuclear weapons, as well as the level to which such action should be taken. The Persian Gulf War illustrated how the presence of nuclear weapons can deter the use of less debilitating ones. Nuclear weapons should be kept.
