Be afraid, be very afraid

Cold war nostalgists are stoking fear because, to them, life without
dread of imminent apocalypse is no life at all

Bruce George, the Labour MP and outgoing president of the Organisation
for Security and Cooperation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly,
addressed its annual session in Edinburgh last month. Terrorism,
inevitably, was on his mind. "The cold war was dangerous because one
bomb could have finished off Scotland," he said, "but it was an
unrealistic threat because both sides were intimidated by each other
into not using those weapons. You could rely on the Americans and
Soviets being rational, but you cannot rely on these super terrorists
negotiating or having any legitimate values. Their aim is to control
the world, and that is not a negotiating position."
