Cold War felt nothing like this. It was a bunch of diplomats on both sides being deadly serious, with neither side having much of a clue what the other side was up to. By way of comparison, we've now got a pretty obvious idea what everybody is up to, but our president is choosing to slag on Arnold Schwartzenegger during the National Prayer Breakfast. The Cold War was just that - cold. Skullduggery and silence. This is positively despotic.
