Actually I fear islamic terrorists more then the former USSR.
The USSR and Communists were predictible to a point. A bilateral system was pretty stable. They knew where we stood, and we knew where they stood. They did not want to blow up world, and neither did we.
However the modern terrorist would nuke every US city if they could, would unleash bio weapons without pause.
Iraq is a part of WWIII - if Afganistan and Iraq were not connected, why are so many arab jihadists/terrorists flocking to Iraq to fight US troops?
In the big scheme this might be best for us... its much easier for the enemy to come to us, then for the US to try and find them across 4 continents....
An important distinction from USSR and terrorists - you could deal with the USSR, make treaties, with terrorists you cannot....
so hence we must kill them all, and destroy the gov't who support them.
