The really concerned folks built bomb shelters in their backyards. Everyone else just learned to live with it; it was like having an automobile accident (car accident)...you didn't stop driving your car because you were afraid of having a car accident, you went out and drove your car! If ya had an accident...ya had an accident! Atomic war threats were the same thing...folks didn't stop living because of cold war fears.

Was the Iraq war a cold war?

No.A cold war is when two sides do not commit acts of overt hostilities, but instead secretly engage in activities to undermine one another. They just go back in forth with arguments and threats but nothing direct happens. The last cold war (between the US and the USSR) never erupted into a hot war because both side were nervous about a nuclear holocaust.The Iraq war was a shooting war, a hot war. In a cold war there is no shooting but instead exchanges of words and posturing, and clandestine activities designed to erode support for the government. The threat of a hot war is real and sometimes follows a cold war, but not always.
