Oops, a tiny error due to using the wrong code: the right numbers should 
be roughly peace 87.6%, crisis 7.99% and war 4.39%.

While the average time to nuclear war is 97.5 years; this corresponds to 
a yearly risk to 1.03% if you fit an exponential distribution to it (a 
fairly decent fit except for the initial few years).
