Even in the 1950s the fear over an "international communist conspiracy" was overblown. I worked in the late 80s with the intelligence community with orbital dynamics of "black birds" and other things. I learned a number of things, and in a sense "read between the lines." Much of the cold war was faked, and much of it was to make money. That we had a massive nuclear arms race had far less to do with any real communist conspiracy to take over the world than it did about huge profits by the big aerospace and armaments industries. The current panic buttons being pushed have similar qualities. This is not to say I think developments of Russian nonballistic missiles or Chinese developments should be ignored or waved off. However, we should also avoid going crazy over things. Further, calling democrats communists is the same insane nonsense seen in Kubrick's Gen. Ripper of *Dr. Strangelove*.
