That's like saying that the current aggression in Iraq is protecting the U.S.
against WMDs.

Another generation of American men and women who paid billions of
their tax dollars to rebuild Europe after World War II, and then
sacrificed their blood and treasure to fight the Cold War for another
generation, must surely be thinking the same thing -- why did we
bother?

How much blood was lost in the Cold War?

Over four million people lost thier lives in the war Vietnam (possibly
closer to five) and two and a half million in Korea.

Well, it was all in a good cause, eh?

Our perception of "history" is probably flawed, since we're too close
to the events. uture historians may well record World War I & II as
a single world war (with a short, 20 year pause to re-arm), and the
following "wars" of the 20th century as skirmishes in the overall
"Cold War".

yes, someone who can not see the difference and historic background
every war had will for sure write this crap in his 'history' book.
