I doubt it - the WMD scare was self strengthening and I doubt the hatred between the two sides would have ever been so great if it was not for the knowledge that the other could simply eliminate everyone in the own country at once. Violence ALWAYS leads to more violence and threats always lead to more threats - if that is the intention, then so be it.
And weapons failing their purpose? As if that never happened before. Sometimes, everything "fails it purpose" and then what?

The need is there to stop that vicious cycle of ever greater power - and this of course means that all sides will have to do so. And this is not going to be done by the governments, that is for sure.
