Stuntman, your knowledge of World history is truly remarkable. I would be very grateful for you to educate me, as to how our support of Iraq in its war of aggression was in any way whatsoever related to the Cold War.
The geopolitical situation at the time was that the United States was concerned more about the spread of a fundamentalist Shiite revolution from Iran than the growing power of the brutal dictator, Saddam Hussein. In point of fact, Saddam Hussein, was much more closely allied to Russia than Iran had ever been.

Sadamned WAS our problem, we helped him (for a brief period) when he
was fighting a war with Iran (due to influnces of the cold war). N.
Korea IS China's problem because they helped build them up during and
after the Korean conflict (part of the cold war).
A lot of "Hot Spots" all over the globe are remanents of the Cold War.
Now that it looks like those planes in Russia were acts of Terrorism,
they will become active partners in cleaning up all the messes created
during almost half a century of cold war activities.
Big question!
If the treaty of Versilles had been enforced, would there have been a
cold war?
Lots of little pieces to this puzzle.
