I could not disagre more with your assessment of Cold War history.And now you want to make it a religious crusade? Absurd.
You can imagine that that if America sat passively by vs. confronting Communism and Islam which seek world domination, then peace would reign (rather than the confrontation being faulty and mismanaged), but which is just as vain as imagining that sitting passively by while the Left seeks the same is the right course, but ignoring that both are but a manifestation of the spiritual war - and which means that that the ethos must be opposed by those means first - is what is behind sure ultimate defeat.
The reason that the Left systematically works to pervert everything that God has ordained, and to censure and persecute those who support them, as Communism and Islam also does, is because they are proxy servants for the devil, who has sought dominion since his original selfish and arrogant rebellion against the Creator from whom all good comes.
Choose ye this day whom you will serve. - Joshua 24:15
