Ustwo, my response is to look at this in terms of our own responsibility to be even-handed when dealing with international conflicts as trumping any particular historical exigency. In this scheme, there is nothing more important than holding the high ground. The fact that we would and have relinquished it for possible geopolitically strategic reasons only stregnthens my sense that short-sightedness in world affairs only comes back to haunt us in the end.
The Cold War is one of those generational legacies that overwhelmed more comprehensive ways of looking at the world and which contributed to our myopia over the decades in question. The fact that the Cold War is over only reinforces the need to discard the old paradigms in the search for solutions that more fully address the needs of the world community.
