The Cold War was an unavoidable part of American history, and if we had not devoted enough resources to building up our military and challenging the Soviets, I feel we probably would not be living in this type of world right now.  The Korean Conflict and Vietnam Conflict were a part of the "war" part of the Cold War, while the rest of the time period was a battle of science, technolgy, and supposed military power between the US and USSR. |

Hmmm... I kinda see what you mean, mole. Wars take attention off of domestic issues, can be beneficial to the economy, and unless the government doesn't "sell it" correctly (with propaganda), unite people in one effort. :mellow:

My point is why do we have to butt ourselves into their business in the first place. It's not like the Holocaust. Stalin was a bad guy and we should have just assasinated him and let the country decide what to do next.

Bad idea, Under!!! First of all, assasinating him would provoke a world response against Americans. We don't know who would assume power next. It's un-American to assasinate leaders (though that doesn't matter too much). How could we actually get in range of the leader of a communist, paranoid country? Gal- I just took the course, and I've been studying for my Regents in a week and a half. |

I think they should nuke the place so no one can live there or threaten to nuke the place if they don't get along. If they can't live there peacefully why let them. Oh but what about the artifacts...I dunno, but personally I don't see why people have this certain mentality towards races/religions. It needs to stop though.
Lanair: we tried to assasinate Ngo Dinh Diem in the Vietnam War.
