The Cold War as Ancient History

Roger Cohen gives us an uplifting overview of the transformation of East European communism with the fall of the Berlin Wall and how good can still wondrously happens in the world.
I think he throws in an Obama plug at the end, speaking of the desire for another great leader to marshal in another wave of liberating idealism and progress, but if this is in respect to the conflict with Islamism, I am afraid that would require more of the hawkishness of J.F.K. to brace the idealism of J.F.K.. McCain comes more to mind.
In any case, it's a good story.
