 Cold War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cold War (as apposed to a hot, active war such as the world wars) was the open yet restricted rivalry that developed after World War II between the United States and its allies and the Soviet Union and its allies.
The Cold War was waged by means of economic pressure, selective aid, diplomatic maneuver, propaganda, assassination, low-intensity military operations and full-scale proxy war from 1947 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
The Cold War is usually considered to have occurred approximately from the end of the strained alliance between the U.S. and the Soviet Union during World War II until the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991.

 The Drug War as Race War
Instead the War on Drugs should be understood as a special case of what war has always been-the employment of force and violence against certain communities, and/or their institutions, in order to attain certain political objectives.
Race has played an important role over the years in identifying the communities that became the targets of the drug war, consequently exposing their cultural practices and institutions to military-style attack and police control.
By 'War on Drugs' I mean the anti-drug policies and law enforcement practices commenced by the Reagan administration in the fall of 1982 and continued by the Bush and Clinton administrations until at least the end of the year 2000.

 American Experience | Seabiscuit | Primary Sources
In one of the greatest match races ever run in the ancient history of the turf, the valiant Seabiscuit not only conquered the great War Admiral but, beyond this, he ran the beaten son of Man o' War into the dirt and dust of Pimlico.
Even those backing War Admiral, the great majority of the crowd, felt their pity for the son of Hard Tack and Swing On, who had come along the hard way and had churned up the dust of almost every track from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, from the Atlantic to Pacific.
War Admiral was the choice of the crowd and the betting sent his odds down to the prohibitive figure of 25 cents on the dollar, while Seabiscuit was $2.20 to $1.

 Harvard University Press/Race and Reunion
Nearly lost in national culture were the moral crusades over slavery that ignited the war, the presence and participation of African Americans throughout the war, and the promise of emancipation that emerged from the war.
Race and Reunion is a history of how the unity of white America was purchased through the increasing segregation of fl and white memory of the Civil War.
He resurrects the variety of African-American voices and memories of the war and the efforts to preserve the emancipationist legacy in the midst of a culture built on its denial.

 First World War.com - Encyclopedia - Race to the Sea
The 'Race to the Sea', as it subsequently - and somewhat inaccurately - became known, and which was conducted from September-November 1914, ended with the onset of trench warfare in the Western Front.
In fact the Race to the Sea comprised what was the last mobile phase of the war on the Western Front until the German Spring Offensive of March 1918.
Allied attempts to force an extensive German retreat in the wake of the September battles of the Marne and Aisne ultimately failed as German defenders firmly dug in behind formidably prepared trench lines.

 Guardian Unlimited | Guardian daily comment | The US, race and war
But what is most staggering about his use of race in his tributes to Uncle Sam is not that the accomplishments he supports in America are the very ones he is so busy stifling at home.
They have been more sceptical than whites about every war during the past century because it has long been a staple truth of American foreign policy that the US would claim to be fighting for rights abroad that it refused to extend to fl people and others at home.
And they are the least likely to believe that declaring war on foreign nations is the best way to fulfil that promise, because they have first-hand experience of how selective the ideals can be of those who fight them.

 Arms Race
The nuclear arms race began during World War II when the United States were informed that the Nazi's may be building a weapon of mass destruction, the atom bomb.
The modern nuclear arms race, that is the race between the US, under Harry Truman, and the USSR, under Joseph Stalin, began in 1946, when the American representative the newly formed United Nations (UN), Bernard Baruch, proposed that nuclear weapons be eliminated.
The Cold War came to an end in 1991, and with it, the immediate threat of nuclear war.

 Race War?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
I do not believe that World War II was a race war, but I do agree that race did play a part, as Rebecca said, to dehumanize an enemy makes it easier for men to kill the enemy.
The propaganda used during the war did portray the Japanese as buck toothed, squinty eyed, and in some cases as apes, but it they also portrayed the buitality of the Japanese (Dower also points out that the Japanese also portrayed the brutality used by the Americans in their propaganda).
I'm sure as America began to push towards Japan their was a superiority factor that came into play, but I find it hard to believe that there was that feeling in 1942 especially after Pearl Harbor, the Phillipines, and the 6 months of Japanese domination in the Pacific.

 War Without Mercy, by John W. Dower
The racist code words and imagery that accompanied the war in Asia were often exceedingly graphic and contemptuous.
Cartoonists, songwriters, filmmakers, war correspondents, and the mass media in general all seized on these images - and so did the social scientists and Asia experts who ventured to analyze the Japanese "national character" during the war.
As the war years themselves changed over into an era of peace between Japan and the Allied powers, the shrill racial rhetoric of the early 1940s revealed itself to be surprisingly adaptable.

The longest war America has ever fought is the Dirty War, and it is not over.
No matter how crime figures are massaged by those who want to acknowledge or dispute the existence of a Dirty War, there is nothing ambiguous about what the official statistics portray: for the past 30 years a large segment of fl America has waged a war of violent retribution against white America.
Most victims of race crime – about 90 per cent – are white, according to the survey "Highlights from 20 Years of Surveying Crime Victims," published in 1993.

 ZNet |Race | Drug War Update
Two prevailing views about the drug war have become dominant in recent years; actually, there are two variations of one view, and that one view is that the war on drugs has been a monumental failure.
The first variation is that since we have "lost" the war, the only course of action is to declare a "cease fire" if not totally "withdraw our troops" and seek a "peaceful settlement," to use the war metaphor.
Contrary to popular belief, several studies have shown that those who were the leading instigators for this war were well aware of the overwhelming evidence from the scientific community that the way to reduce drug addiction is through education and treatment, not punitive legislation.

 The Eighth Great Race War: Mexico   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The news of Santa Ana's war of extermination against all the Whites he could get his hands on, caused shock waves throughout Texas, and large numbers of Whites left the more isolated parts of the state and started congregating in urban centers for protection.
The annexation of Texas provoked the second phase of the White American war with Mexico: Santa Ana's successors repudiated the concession he had made regarding Texas, and refused to discuss the inclusion of the state into the United States.
The protracted war was now causing dissension in the rest of America, with the issue being linked to slavery because of the involvement of Texas, and a strong anti-war movement started which severely hindered efforts to get the army properly resupplied.

The "Race War" is a double theme: first, the tension and violence along racial lines familiar to those of us who live in The Real World(tm), second, the war of the *human* race in its various shades against the Predator's alien race.
