Returning to Russia and America, how then could the United States work with Russia to guide the safe return of the Mir on the one hand, and lash out and expel Russian dip- lomats on the other? Quite simply, our Jekyll-Hyde move was more practical than ideo- logical—the Cold War was the oppo- site. The bipolarity of the Cold War was defined by ideology. Our rela- tionship with the Soviet Union was hinged on U.S. opposition to com- munist ideology. Politics took on a highly symbolic nature. Our moves vis-a-vis the U.S.S.R were not simply policy but rather statements of our democratic ideals that ran opposite to communism. In the network age our relation- ships with nations are quite differ- ent. Largely they are formed around immediate interests and not ideol- ogy.
