"Is the nuclear proliferation a blessing?" "Yes it is. Why? Because things that are good for us are good for others. Terror equilibrium has been guarantor of peace in Europe during the Cold War. Without it Soviets could have a temptation to invade Europe. When there are no nuclear weapons there are classic wars, which can result in massacres comparable to the First World War. Iran/Iraq war was compared to the war between France and Germany. If both sides had nuclear weapons they would hesitate to enter the conflict, which would have saved millions of lives. Possession of nuclear weapons is a good and not a bad. Its dissemination is good and not bad. Indeed, the more countries possess such dissuasive weapon, the wider will be the territory of peace and stability, which we experienced in Europe throughout the Cold War. There have to be serious arguments used in order to prohibit certain country to use such means of dissuading potential aggressors."
