Excuse me, who pushed the world to the brink of a nuclear holocaust? The New York Times on Castro

"and briefly pushing the world to the brink of nuclear war".  He pushed the world? He did not have nuclear weapons to push the world.  No one pushed the world to t he brink of a nuclear war except that one country which dropped nuclear weapons on Japanese civilians to test its military power and to send a message of toughness to the world.
