It has been 65 years since the only war-time use of the atomic bomb - when the U.S. hit 2 Japanese cities.
Really, that's a remarkable run of not actually using a new weapons technology. A study of history shows humans using whatever weapons they can get their hands on. So this is a case of unusual restraint.
A friend of mine argued that some time in the 21st century, terrorists will set off an a-bomb in an American city.
He was arguing this in the late 20th century. Well... so far, so good.
We've gotten through one tenth of the 21st
without enduring the radioactive worst.
