Closest I can come with is nuclear disarmament. Not because I think they were on the wrong side of it, but I think it's far less clear cut and there's a credible argument that MAD has worked.

We can't really prove that MAD has worked without seeing what would have happened if we hadn't done MAD.

I'd argue that without MAD, the cold war might not have happened, which could have avoided a massive number of conflicts.
