I had no idea this went on. I do remember everyone, from the President on down to my schoolteacher, telling me I should be afraid of Communism when I was growing up.

We lived in fear of nuclear war and fear that The Soviet Union would invade the US. The movie Red Dawn scared the hell out of me when I was young.

It is crazy how these idiotic theories (Domino Theory) influenced our foreign policy. But, I see it is still going on today in the Middle East.
