Although I'm not sure I'd say that about the bombs and fun too loudly these days... *g*
The funniest thing I saw on TV recently was a clip of some fighting in the middle east, and right there in the lower section of the screen were the silhouettes of hands waving at the camera. I know it's all terribly tragic, but I really had to laugh at the explosions and gunfire across the street, and here are people going, "Oh! A camera! Hey, ma! Lookit me! I'm on TV!"
You're right - not much has changed. Just the names of the good guys and the bad guys.
Do you remember back when the Mujahideen were sexy freedom fighters on horseback, helping James Bond in the struggle against the Communist threat? Now they're just scary Muslim extremists, and, okay, I've heard the Communist threat is gone, but... There's something about nukes. And poisoned ex-spies. Still Bush calls him "Vladimir" and says they're buddies, so - no worries, right? We're all friends now!
