Yes, we are being too aggressive. We spend too much money on military and attack other nations base on a lie. Now other countries what to protect themselves better and being to put more funds into nuclear weapons. In the Cold war there were only few nations competing. Now we have many. Iran and north Korea is the most obvious ones. The more we spend on military, the more threat other nations will feel.

Yes, we're closer. During the cold war, only a few countries had access to nuclear weapons. Now, with access to the internet, any nut job can figure out how to construct one. And with the lax protection afforded the raw materials, you don't even need big money to put one together.

YES
Today we have NORTH KOREA who in my mind does not have nukes and is just bluffing, Iran is still building one and knows if it uses nukes it would be wipe off the face of the world.
** the only danager is Pakistan, if it becomes a real democracy a Taliban like group will gain power. Which will have them controling a nuclear weapon, and I do not think it will be a happy day at that point

No, back then we had a bunch of warheads that were located about 100 miles off the coast of Florida...now, we have one that we are ready to shoot down. Oh yeah, we can't forget to thank Mr. Clinton for giving Iran nuclear power. Wasn't he such a great president??

No-compared to the cold war and mutual assured destruction the problems we have in the world today are nothing.

Yes I do....there has been an Arms Race for a long time now...we are no different in trying to protect ourselves. Iran is trying to keep it from the world that they are making nukes....but we all know that they are...

I think we are much closer to nuking the hell out of certain people than ever before.

I'm old enough to remember the time when we almost killed the Earth. We're no where near that point.
