In Teller's opinion the bomb ended war; the bomb was a path to peace. He made a prediction during the cold war era that, "There will never again be war between nuclear armed countries. The only wars from now on will be little more than third-world skirmishes." He's right so far. Ever since the hydrogen bomb was invented, human beings kill each other WAY less that we used to before. Father of Peace. The truth is always counter intuitive.
