I don't hold much hope of ever living in a world free of nuclear weapons, infact I see it as fanciful. Just ask Israel or Pakistan what it would take to give up their stockpile, you're sure to get a Charlton Heston-esque response. We can't just forget everything we learned about them in the 20th century, and even if the USA or Russia dismantled their entire stockpile and disposed of every last bit of plutonium in a gen4 reactor, you can bet they won't give up the ability to quickly knock another device together in a relatively short period of time should the situation arise.
