The cold war stand off worked due to Mutualy Assured Destruction (MAD).
Neither side wanted to be wiped out so were very careful with the chess pieces.
Consider that SOME Muslims are not affraid of death and in fact welcome it then MAD holds no sway.
If the guy with his finger on the button is a Jihadist then he will press it to speed him on his way.
We almost had a Septic rapturist with similar beliefs too. It is not just the Muslims you know.

I felt confident that this thread was going to be about the bloke looking into MPs expenses...... who said something like:
"...Some MPS have been exploiting the expenses system for personal gain...."
Just goes to show...........

In the wider world, Mr ElBaradei said the biggest threat was the prospect of a nuclear weapon falling into the hands of an extremist group.
He said the principle of nuclear deterrent would not apply to such groups.
The only safe future, he said, was widespread nuclear disarmament led by the existing nuclear powers which between them have 27,000 warheads.
