So, we have two solutions:  Either start building more tactical nukes, or initiate a propaganda campaign to convince people that we have more than we actually do.  Either way, we're starting an arms race of sorts.






The use of two to end WWII did not end civilization, so a limited war most likely would not.  The devil is in limiting said war.  Wars tend to escalate on their own, with the combatants losing control of the situation.  An all out war, the kind visualized when we were busy hiding under our desks in the '50s, would easily set civilization back a few thousand years.  Of course, that's just a blink of an eye in terms of the age of the Earth, so maybe we'd come back one day. 


Maybe we'd do it again, and maybe not.
