+1 to Nearmiss, and your example can be scaled to nations and their races for nuclear armaments: yes, it's horrible to think that on this very British soil there are 226 nuclear warheads, half of which would be enough to obliterate human kind for good, but it's "peace through an equal threat" or "superior firepower" the only winning formula with human kind unfortunately.
It's the presumption to think we live in a world where a war couldn't happen again that leaves me speechless. The United Kingdom waged wars for centuries, yet Britons now think it can't happen again..
