Speaking personally, I guess I had always hoped that the folks running the nuclear program in any given country were slightly more...stable?

. In 1996, a meteorite exploded over Greenland with a force of 100 kilotons (much greater than the June Mediterranean blast of 12 kilotons).

I had no idea this had happened! Scary stuff!!

A large meteorite exploding in Earth's atmosphere could trigger a nuclear war

Never fear. I'm sure our congress can just pass a law against meteorites exploding in our atmosphere. I'm sure if the enviro-whackos lobby them lavishly enough, they can pass it before they adjourn for the year. Especially if the media climbs on board...
