A nuclear bomb is not as bad as some on the list might think. I am not saying it is a good thing, we would all rather not have it happen, but how many know that we have suffered and survived fallout from foreign nuclear blasts already? http://www.oism.org/nwss/s73p929.htm This was as "dirty" as the chernobyl disaster, only a bit more spread out :). Most of America was covered in a fallout cloud! Full text here, for those who want to learn more about the facts of nuclear war survival. It is really an excellent read. http://www.oism.org/nwss/

There have been hundreds of above ground nuke tests. They were stopped when the strontium-90 was discovered to be getting into the baby milk. The planet was covered in fallout. Still is.
