Now that you all answered did you know that the USA was the only country in the world to EVER use any kind of nuclear weapon for offensive purposes. So then the US isn't " the right hands" is it?

That's a big question! If every country in the world had nukes, then MAYBE they could prove an effective enough deterrent to assure world peace. Even, then, however, there are still so many technical risks involved (not to mention environmental) that it is plausible that an accidental detonation could set off a whole chain reaction that could lead to the destruction of mankind.
Or, to answer in a different way: if nuclear weapons were "peace keepers" then why do states with nuclear weapons still engage in wars?

Nuclear Weapons, in my opinion, are the destruction of mankind. Not necessarily because they are so deadly, but that evertime a country is accused of building nuclear weapons, we go to war. Its only a matter of time until everyone is at war!

Nuclear weapons in the hands of rational people is a deterrent to war. It worked with the struggle between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. It seems to be working between India and Pakistan. The key word is "rational." As you must already know, Radical Muslims are not rational. In the hands of irrational people (like Radical Muslims) the world would be a very unsafe place.

peace keepers until they get into the wrong hands.
That is my true opinion, but if I had to choose one:
ultimately, destruction of mankind. They will keep the peace for some period of time BUT then when nuclear war begins they will do more damage than they prevented.

Destruction of mankind. The human race has evolved into a vicious cruel species. It will only benefit the rest of the planet.

They've kept the peace for over 60 years via the MAD doctrine, but that was with the 'rational' superpowers at the helm. With rogue leaders and martyrs having their fingers on the button, all bets are off.

the phrase: "Peace Through Superior Firepower" springs to mind.
But on this, i'll say both peace keeping tools and aides to the destruction of man.
