The Cold War ended 20 years ago, but I still wonder: is nuclear war still a danger to mankind? How likely is it that we'll experience a nuclear war in, say, the next 20 years? I mean, it seems like there are a lot of situations that can quickly get out of hand and lead to one.
1.) A war in Iran
2.) Georgia joins NATO then gets invaded by Russia, thus drawing the rest of NATO into the conflict, which then escalates
3.) A war with China
4.) India-Pakistan
5.) An end-times fundamentalist like Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin gets his/her hands on a nuclear arsenal.
Am I just being paranoid or are these valid concerns?

People, please don't feed the troll.
How? Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann are known to have a history of association with Christian fundamentalists, and end-times theology is quite common among the Christian fundamentalist community.
I really don't see how I'm being a troll. Bachmann and Palin have confirmed links to groups that teach end-times theology. Bachmann once even gave a speech in 2006 when she said "we are in the end times".
