Yes, but it is only now that the capacity to exercise destruction on a mass scale is technologically feasabile.
100 years ago, the powers of madmen were restricted. They needed to gather armies and persuade millions to follow them.
Technology, is unfortuately growing at an unprecediented rate. Computer technology which once filled a room can be held in your hand.
So too, will neuclear technology enivitably become understood by and available to madmen. Thats when you start loosing entire cities and countries to terrorism.
Don't worry if you're past middle age. You will probably mostly be able to live out the rest of your natural life. Its only us young folks who will probably have to live through some sort of appocolypse.
