Amy, Remember the Sting song with the line "I hope the Russians love their children too"? Having gotten to know several dozen Russians from the Soviet Union, I have developed an understanding of how our Government used us during the cold war. The fear and paranoia which the US Government stimulated was quite self-serving. Did you ever see the movie "Red Dawn", where the Soviets came and invaded a small town in Colorado? I was running a movie theater at the time (1985, in Los Alamos), and the fearful reaction to that movie gave me a hint of how deeply brainwashed the American public was. The behavior of the post WWII Soviet Union was very easily explained in non-paranoid terms. They took the Baltics, Poland, East Germany and Czechoslovakia because they wanted a buffer to keep the Germans out of Russia. Quite understandable after losing 60,000,000 people in WWI and WWII. The concept that the Soviets had ideas of invading the US was senseless paranoia whipped up by US politicians, in order to prop support for the "military industrial complex" which Eisenhower warned us about.
