The 80s are back!
I have proof that the 80s are back. Here are the indicators:
Washington DC has recently gone back to being a hyper-violent city;
Israel is in Lebanon fighting Hezbollah;
The Russians are back to being nakedly authoritarian;
Italy won the World Cup (last time this happened was '82);
Afghanistan is in a shambles following an unsuccessful attempt by a great power to use overwhelming air power to get rid of its Islamist tendencies;
The US is supplying Iraq with weapons and training in an attempt to counterbalance the power of Iran in the region.
The Space Shuttle is back to being a gee-whiz-would-ya-take-a-look-at-that kind of thing;
Prince is playing music as Prince.
I wonder what's next? Brightly colored thin leather neckties? Collars up?
