Does the prospect of nuclear disaster still frighten anyone these days?

There is something like 17,300 nuclear warheads floating about in the world. The prospect of any one of those warheads---or any weapon of mass destruction really---being used on human beings is terrifying when you stop and think about it. It's as if the fate of the world as we know it lies in a fairly delicate balance, at the mercy of the moods and ambitions of some unnamed persons. It seems like there was a lot of hysteria over nuclear bombs during the Cold War... and that seems to have faded completely except for an occasional and almost mechanical invocation in political rhetoric. Is the hope of complete disarmament dead?
