I don't live in the Cold War. Some people maybe still live in the Cold War, but this is their problem, not mine.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People nowadays don't know about the Cold War and the U.S.'s old rivalry with the U.S.S.R.
The Cold War is over but Cold War thinking survives.
The Cold War has ended for America.
So many people of my generation who served in the government were prisoners of the Cold War culture, still are.
The Cold War was a boring thing. Nobody gets better for it. Tremendous money is wasted. Our lives get more difficult. We look at each other as enemies. What's good in that? In any case, I will do anything in my power in order to stop another Cold War, with the U.S. or any other country in the world.
The Cold War went on for so long that it bred a kind of worldwide military establishment. Even when budgets went down in the early and mid-nineties, it didn't really affect it.
I was very much a child of the Cold War.
The lesson of the Cold War is that against nuclear weapons, only nuclear weapons can hold the peace.
When I was in the White House, I was confronted with the challenge of the Cold War. Both the Soviet Union and I had 30,000 nuclear weapons that could destroy the entire earth and I had to maintain the peace.
The 'Cold War' impinged on the daily lives of Americans. The wars after 11 September 2001 have been fought without the general American population having to make any sacrifices. It goes on, and so do we.
