I'm teaching my high school U.S. history classes about the Cold War right now and, although it's very real to me, most of them just don't seem to be able to relate, even given the parallels to this decade's War on Terror. I guess this is yet further prood that I'm getting old and falling out of touch. I still think the Cold War was scarier than the WOT is, and when I was a kid, the Cold War was starting to wind down.

No during the Cold War we knew who had nukes and who probably had other nasty things that make one shiver. Now, we don't have a clue on who has what, since now a days, money talks and weapons walk.
