Nothing was good about the cold war. It seemed that we had to always be prepared for something to happen either on or around the Berlin Wall or along a border area between Russia and another country. The threat of nuclear war was always there too, so there were "duck and cover drills" in schools ( we would have been cinder dust before we ever hit the floor if one had been dropped) and air raid sirens would go off every so often. It was always a "them" and "us" thinking. It seemed that war could happen at anytime with any small thing. In looking back the only thing I see today was that was good is that we knew who the enemy was. There were uniforms and tanks and borders. Today with the threat of terrorist actions it seems that an event to hurt people can happen at anytime and you don't know who did it or why. They don't wear uniforms or belong to a state/country, but are a group of some sort. This has made our world smaller in some ways.
