>It was to show the world, once and for all, that communism wasn't better than capitalism. For that you need a big hairy audacious goal. Better millage isn't one.

I understand and it achieved its purpose (yay freedom) but now is different. Freedom has won, commies are laughed at, though mildly problematic, and the planet is one, sort of. The problems we face are less epic which makes them seem dull and we should be thankful for that.

The planet is split into essentially three groups: the western world, China and the arab world (Middle-east + large parts of Africa).

China isn't going to attack us, they make far more money trading with us.

The arabs on the other hand.
