I was only 12 years old, but it seemed to me that most Americans were more aggressive than afraid, at least the ones I talked to. We knew we'd kick those Russki's butts good! Of course that was probably what I picked up from friends my own age, and most of us had no idea what was really at stake at the time.

I'm sure the more mature and thoughtful people at the time hoped it would work out the way it did.
