Cold War is Over

Many Americans need to realize that the Cold War is over, Russia is not a communist state anymore, it hasn't been a communist state since 1991. Many lawmakers still think that Russia is still our enemy, many of them need to be updated on the current situation. Russia and the United States face the same problems, and the biggest one is terrorism. So these lawmakers shouldn't worry about petty differences America and Russia have, especially when it comes to the rights of individuals. America does not have the best record when comes to individual rights and neither does Russia, but both countries are learning from mistakes. Both countries should concentrate on terrorism now that both have been affected by it.
