Do you miss the Cold War?

gmku · 10.21.2008, 02:56 PM

Things were so simple then. Commies & us. The domino theory. The evil Soviet empire, the good old U.S. of A.

Mass annihilation in global thermonuclear war at the touch of a button.

Sigh...

Ho Chi Minh.

Viet Cong.

Red China.

Cuban missile crisis.

Lyndon Baines Johnson and thousands of American boys in Vietnam.

Hoo ah!

A movie star was president. An anti-communist former vice-president tours "red" China when he becomes president. A congressman decides to start a red scare, and major entertainment people, writers, and intellectuals get blacklisted and worse.

Oh, those were the days.
