The A-Bomb must be the worst and best invention ever. Worst because it is to destructive and can only be used to destroy everything. Best because of all the good stuff we've got from the research surrounding it.

Well, while speculation is hard to prove, I think it has to date prevented WWIII. If not for the threat of MAD, I think the US and USSR would've gone to all-out war in the 50s or 60s. My guess is even more would've died than in WWII. So, for it keeping the wars small and the casualties low, I think the nuke was a good thing.
