The Cold War is back, and let’s greet it with Kubrick’s amazingly prescient, pre-Vietnam War, pre-Wag the Dog, pre-pre-pre Kosovo black comedy: American foreign policy as a delirium of yahoo "bombs away," and Peter Sellers’ Dr. Strangelove, mastermind of warmongering, based directly on today’s cocktail party favorite, Henry Kissinger. Among the right-on Aristophanic caricatures: Peter Bull as everyone’s Stalinist "Russke," and Sterling Hayden as the paranoid-of-paranoids General Jack D. Ripper.
