Actually, Dougie, you should be scared, too... The conditions were right for the US to prevail in the last Cold War... Our economy was strong and Russia's was not... But Russia is swimming in money right now and our economy is in the crapper because of the tax cuts and the Iraq War so a betting man would give the Russians the edge in the next one...

And McCain and Palin, who both want to play to their NAQSCAR dad, gin tottin' base, are much more apt to get US into a losing Cold War scenerio than is Obama...

Remember this post, Doug... Write it down somewhere... Remember what I said about going into Iraq in the first p;ace??? I was right and I am 99% confident that if McCain gets elected that what I have outlined above will also come to pass... Yes, this ***is*** a dangerous world and we've had 8 years of cowboy foriegn policy and nothin that either McCain or Palin suggests that either of them have the vision or wisdom to keep the US outta that Cold War scenerio...

So remember this warning...
