To declare the Cold War over, and declare democracy has won out over totalitarianism, is a measure of arrogance and wrong-headedness.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Cold War is over. The kind of authority that the presidents asserted during the Cold War has now been diminished.
The Cold War is over but Cold War thinking survives.
The Cold War isn't thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn't sleeping; it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting.
The Cold War has ended for America.
Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
Since the end of the Cold War, America has been grasping left and right for an identity.
We won the Cold War because we showed nuclear vigilance and diligence.
Democracy's a very fragile thing. You have to take care of democracy. As soon as you stop being responsible to it and allow it to turn into scare tactics, it's no longer democracy, is it? It's something else. It may be an inch away from totalitarianism.
As the Cold War melts into history, our first concern should be the preservation and extension of human rights and democracy.
With the end of the cold war, all the 'isms' of the 20th century - Fascism, Nazism, Communism and the evil of apartheid-ism - have failed. Except one. Only democracy has shown itself true the help of all mankind.
