"Were the Soviet Union to sink tomorrow under the waters of the
ocean, the American military-industrial establishment would have
to go on, substantially unchanged, until some other adversary could
be invented. Anything else would be an unacceptable shock to the
American economy."
George F. Kennan, 1987
(Former top level US state dept policy planner and cold warrior)
