Remember when the Russians and the USA could have blown each other to kingdom come? This song is a reflection of that time. Great one in Sting's early solo career.

Nov 26, 2008 - Well blaming Muslims or Islam you can't never be a racist because Muslims are not a race, they are a religion which is first a drug and second a disease. So fuck religion and first all all fuck the worlds worst and most inhuman religion: Islam.

plastictabs Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - well, historians tend to agree that the end of the cold war was mainly due to Gorbechev, Pope John Paul II (who pressured the Soviet-backed Polish military strongman Jaruzelski to relent to the growing Eastern-European Solidarity movement), and the inherent economic instability of the Soviet system. Now, I'll grant that the economic pressure was intensified by U.S. backing of the Afghan rebels, but unfortunately we've inherited that fight against the very rebels we armed and trained in the 80s.

Nov 26, 2008 - Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on your world history (nice to know someone on youtube is intelligent). As for the muslim issue, it is muslim extremists you are refering to, not all muslims. Get it right you ignorant idiot. Islam itself is not bad (how muhammad tought it) but sadly, it is human nature to corrupt for one's personal gain as is the cause for Islam (and all other religions for that matter).

Nov 28, 2008 - i understand you well

jwmellott Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - Ah yes, the historians credit Gorby, so it must be true. Is this the same group of historians who ranked Reagan 33rd greatest out of 41 (excluding GWB and counting Grover only once)? Historians are basically a bunch of liberals whose politics shape their analysis.

llothar Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - No also Muhammed was wrong. And so are people who refer to him today. This moral point was made 1400 year ago. If human kind did not evolve in this time it's bad but here is great news for you - they did. Just af few camel lovers couldn't realize this. Adultery is freedom. Adultery is creativity. Adultery is fun.

llothar Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - Yes it's ashame that 90% of all political rock and pop music are just cover versions. But this is the sad reality of person who don't have idols other then a drunkne Pop Princess

Nov 29, 2008 - I hope we all love our children too. Majestic song of a king.

MercifulBoss Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - You fail to mention that Christanity was established around 2009 years ago, with it's moral point also established during this time period. As a result, this argument is invalid. The true reason that I believe has caused Muslim extremists, is the fact that some statements in the Koran, can be interperted to share or have a dual meaning, and thus can allow for aggression. Furthermore, the fact that most Muslim or Islamic countries are developing, can also be a source of this extremism.

Nov 29, 2008 - Reagan was a pompous clown whose credit is much worse than he actually deserved. Gorbatchev ended the Cold war, Reagan only brought the foundations of the current financial crisis and strengthened Islamic fundamentalism.

Alexvideoclip Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - Yes, that's my sister's fault !

Bobbalou23 Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - History, my good man, is written by the victors, and you and your Soviet pals lost, so get over it.

MercifulBoss Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - And that, exactly is why it is most often inaccurate. Thus, I beg you, "get over it".

jwmellott Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - Yeah, sure. Ever heard of the Community Reinvestment Act? Gorby, by the way, ended the Cold War because he realized he would be outspent on the missile shield by Reagan. Speaking of pompous clowns, since when was there an "Office of the President Elect" complete with a seal of the office?

plastictabs Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - jwmellott: If you're going to blanket-dismiss all experts, then you're not interested in a meaningful dialogue. unless you were in the Reagan administration and were present for the negotiations etc, you don't have any special knowledge that historians don't. I suggest you get your info from sources other than Rush Limbaugh and Faux News. youtube posters like jwmelliott are basically a bunch of conservatives whose politics shapes their analysis.

bmf1706 Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - Amen to that!

jwmellott Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - They say that patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels. Well, dismissing the other person's interest in a meaningful dialog is the last refuge of an idiot. If your premise is correct,the only conservatives qualified to comment on this matter are members of the Reagan Administration and the only liberals qualified to comment are members of the Soviet negotiating team. Historians and journalists tend to be liberal;this shapes their analysis. Same with conservatives, but there are few of them.

mansonii Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Depends, do you love your children too?

BasTafariJudah Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Cold War never ended ladies and gentlemen. The eagle, the dragon and the BEAR, remember?
