How so? Kerry compared it to the Cold War. He claimed that: "The war on terror is as monumental a struggle as the Cold War." We agree with him that this war is every bit as monumental as the Cold War, but anyone who knows how John Kerry tried to "fight" the Cold War should be very afraid of his Presidency and how he will go about how he will fight the war on terror (of which Iraq is a major part). Let's take a walk down memory lane shall we?The record shows that in 1984, at the height of the Cold War, Kerry proposed canceling numerous weapons systems and slashing the national defense. CrushKerry.com has the details. You can read about the Kerry Senate memos here. Several thousand of my readers already have. And the best part is, these are actual, authentic, non-forged memos!

Each side had tens of thousands of nuclear warheads pointed at each other. Long-range nuclear-armed bombers could not penetrate into either the U.S. (thanks to the F-102) or the Soviet Union, and were becoming irrelevant. Star Wars worked better as a movie, rather than an easily-defeated pork-barrel in the sky. Ronal Reagan was an actor whose organization deftly created a mythology and stood watch while the Soviet Union stumbled toward its inevitable destruction.

Reagan on the otherhand did much to frustrate and sabotage the SU. He got the Saudi's to keep international oil prices low to deprive the SU of revenue, he forced them to try and keep up with American military technology and deployments, he impeded SU plans for energy exports to Europe, and his administration turned Soviet attempts to steal American technology into means to sabotage their economy. Absent all of these actions the SU might have been able to stabilize economically and survive. Posted by: atm at September 28, 2004 04:23 AMPost a comment
