What do you think the world would be like today (both socially and physically) if no one had ever developed nuclear fission technologies?

The Cold War might never have happened, meaning the hippie movement might have remained a mere subculture. Since much of the war on drugs was reactionary to that movement, perhaps marijuana and LSD and such would still be legal. Back on the war front, without his excuse (a nuclear program would not have been possible without the existence of fission technology), Bush would not have invaded Iraq.
So, maybe the world would've been a better place. *Shrug*
