The Good Old Days?

I've heard this line of drivel before, and I'd like to thank Dr. Kennedy for setting things straight. You see, I grew up in the shadow of nuclear annihilation, "ducking and covering" in the fallout shelter with Tommy Turtle, and I don't wax nostalgic for it at all...

It was funny, in a grim sort of way. Last week, Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates responded to Russian President Vladimir V. Putin's polemical attack on the United States by remembering the 50-year Cold War as a "less complex time" and saying he was "almost nostalgic" for its return.
