True.  The atmosphere is very similar, but the tools have changed dramatically. To be honest, today's tools make the problems worse, since every side can beat a loud drum and raise the political temperature quickly.  I'm doubtful that they can be applied effectively to reducing tensions, not that there seems to be an interest in doing that.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
