It’s kind of funny, when I first saw this article in 2009 I was actually quite worried. Since that time it has faded from my conciousness. Which is in of itself weird because at the time when I first saw it I thought we were returnig to the cold war. I am old enough to remember the tail end of that particular bundle of joy and I didn’t want to see a return to the “bad old days” as so many have called it. I guess that it hasn’t become an issue thus far. Let’s hope it stays that way.
