I'm not at all worried about nuclear war. It's the "conventional" means of waging wars, that are most barbaric, horrifying and de-humanizing. Nukes don't rape, imprison and torture people for years, decades, even centuries on end.
Sure - if it ever comes to it, it'll be the end of civilization as we know it, maybe the end of humanity, or even life on Earth. But at least it will be fairly quick.
The thing that truly scares me is the possibility of Russian, Chinese, or Islamic hordes slowly marching across the globe with AK-47's, knifes and petrol cans...
