They will be remembered as something of a Paradise Lost. The hope of a United World with the demise of Soviet Communism and democratic institutions actually taking root in Russia. The ushering in of the "Information Age". Relative prosperity, relative lack of major external military involvements. It was a time when people with Utopian outlooks were actually encouraged.
Much of this is exaggeration to some degree, and much of this came to an end as 9/11 approached. No one talks about the "Peace Dividend" anymore.
