Question AC pump belt?

I assume that my compressor went bad... I went to start my car and there was this great squeeling noise, after about 8 seconds there was white smoke coming out from under the hood.... let me rephrase that... LOTS OF WHITE SMOKE!!!! so I pop the hood..yes car is off....and the AC belt had been burned right through!!! I reached down to spin the AC compressor wheel and it spun freely.?.? I'm thinkin that under the load of a belt the bearings locked up.?.?
My question is... is it ok to run without the belt?
