But all that seems pretty un-nostalgia-worthy to me.
Okay, I'll post some positive events from that periods:
-the EU and NATO enlargement
-as a result of the very Iraq war you mock, Lybia destroyed all its WMDs
-Georgia and Ukraine became democracies
-the human genome was sequenced
-first successful human face transplant
-Spirit and Opportunity probes landed on Mars
Of course there is a lot of personal stuff I'm nostalgic for, and it's more important than the global events.
