The other side lost it, for reasons that are partly about their weaknesses and partly about the restraint and patience preached and practiced by George Kennan and other liberals in the American foreign policy establishment. (Yes, there are some).
In fact, we all won the Cold War, because good ideas, like the Western mixed economies, were allowed to flourish and prove themselves to bad ideas, like the Eastern command economies.
Hopefully, one day in this country, ideas will once again flourish at the expense of dollars. Because, right now, we have a capitalist command economy--one that is doomed to collapse, and will collapse faster if we have an all-Republican government next year.
