The Cold war was similar to the recent Iraq war because the United States needs to interfere with other countries issues.
Significance
The United States interfered with the Cold War because they felt it was their job to keep Europe safe and help them rebuild their country. The Untied States also did something very similar to Iraq because they had heard that they were making nuclear weapons, so they invaded just out of rumor. Should the United States continue to interfere with other countries based on rumors? If the United States continues to interfere it could begin to cause more world problems or lead to other and bigger issues.
