I'm surprised at your "what if?"
Maybe even appalled that you THINK that way, and had the balls to post that.

>Just think... if we...took out the Soviet Union, there would never have been a cold war, there would be no hostile china, there would be no vietnam, no Korean War........."

What you are saying is that you think it would have been BETTER if we had wiped the Soviets (and all those dastardly COMMUNISTS) off the face of the earth!?
Why, there'd be no more wars!
What a concept.
Mass elimination of part of the world's population.
Russia=evil Communists
Islam=evil fundamentalists......

I'm beginning to get your drift.
