Cold War and Chess | Clarissa's Blog
I would find it hard to imagine that there is any international situation that would not involve some degree of 'cold war' hostilities. There are ideological and political attempts to destablize new political regimes after a war, for instance. Those are the aftershocks that seem to follow any war. I think this may be surprising to people who have not directly lived through hostilities but have nonetheless benefited from them. Other people can more or less anticipate what to expect. But many people are very, very naive about these other types of warfare. They may even talk about "seeing reason" or "improving communication", thus indicating that they have no basis for even beginning to understand the meaning of war. If a situation is chaotic, or bad or 'evil', it is because either one or both parties WANT it to be so. It's rarely due, directly, to a lack of rationality or reason.
