I don't drink Pepsi or any other corn-syrup juice drink.
Finally, I don't remember any time during the Cold War (excluding
the hot spots) where we were losing 100 or so soldiers a month.
How you could you possibly compare what is going on now (the "war
on terrorism") to the 50-year period following World War II?
I think you lost it on this one, Ed.
First, we are losing 100 soldiers a month in the occupation of Iraq,
which has nothing at all to do with any "war on terror" (note the
ungrammatical phrasing preferred by this Adminisitration). The point
of the Cold War and the War on Terror is to keep us afraid of a
bogeyman who's out to get us, justifying large military expenditures
to politically-connected corporations.
