Comparing 9/11 to the past - For the older posters

[Keyser Soze]

I was younger when the cold war was going on so I think I was a bit more paranoid. The movie "The Day After" really freaked me out as a kid and I wasn't old enough to process the news well enough to realize there was an uneasy peace or understand the politics of it all. In my mind, they could have dropped the bomb at any minute, and that was a scary thing to have rolling around your head all the time.
