lads and lassies were still in high school. The U.S. had to stop the deadly scourge of the spread of godless communism, any and every where on the face of earth, else the dominoes might fall. The U.S. also had dispose a veritable plethora of left-leaning regimes all the while supporting the likes of Batista. With the break-up of the USSR in 1989 and no major threat of its supremacy on the horizon, a new bogey-man had to be found so the MIC could continue to be gorged, and lo and behold, the U.S. failed to thwart a multi-staged terraist attack on 'Murikan soil in spite of intelligence streaming in from throughout the world advising of an impending terraist attack. Hence, a perpetual war on terra was commenced wherein terraists would be ferreted out and blasted to kingdom-come where ever on the face of the earth they might be. The war hardon has not diminished an iota imo, it fact the Bush-Cheney hardon for war seems to this lad to be undiminished. 
That reminds me of the assumption that the USSR would participate in the 1984 Olympics in the US after the US led boycott of the Moscow Olympics in 1980.
I won a good bet in 1984.

Our 'offical' 'lanaguage' will be 'American', instead of English.
Bowlers will have to put a little 'American' on the ball to avoid gutters.
Orchestral woodwind players will have to learn to play the 'American' horn.
All dog breeds with 'English' in their names will switch to being called 'American', unless of course, there is already an American-style breed; in which case, these will now be known as 'Real American', or even 'American American'.
English muffins will now be known as 'American' muffins.
English Breakfast tea will now be 'American Breakfast'.
