The original Cold War had two distinct qualities that are now lost and gone forever. First, it was a remarkably close-run race - economically, militarily and culturally - though we tend now to forget just how close.

Which means it was well worth fighting.

A Harvard Professor who understands that the commies are evil. Good to know that not all Harvard Professors are total and complete fools.

Today, by contrast, Russia is so far behind the United States as to be out of contention. Just for the record, US gross domestic product is now 20 times that of the Russian Federation. ==

This one is pure stupid. But it is not only one of those.
If the author indeed Harvard professor then I'm sorry for Harvard:).

Only in the fevered imagination of Vladimir Putin, the ex-KGB operative who now runs Russia, do NGOs figure as subversive entities.

Yeah and MoveOn.org was just a harmless political site, that had no subversive effect on anything.
