"Missing the good old days of the Cold War"

By Susan Reimer

"Life was simpler when Russia was all in one piece and our only serious enemy. When the Chinese kept themselves behind locked doors and didn't deal with anybody. When there was an Iron Curtain and you were either behind it or not.

True, we spent the Cold War always on the cusp of Armageddon. Nuclear annihilation was possible at any moment, and that can be stressful. But there was comfort in knowing that if you crawled under your desk at school, you'd be fine."
