Who was Responsible for the Cold War? The West, or the East?

[jorbaud]

Countries have a right to change or dispute their own governments, that's their own choice. If a blame game comes from instances of Vietnam, Korea, and so forth, I would say the fault lies with the outside forces that intervened in an attempt to sway the dispute in their own favour.

I understand that countries can change their governments to whatever they wanted. However, if they had not then many of the cold war wars would not have been fought meaning those countries who changed their governments are at fault. Sure we shouldn't intervene and go and attack a country because we don't like their government but it was the governments that changed that caused us to fight.
