I think the correlation between the 1960s and today is amazing. Just look:

AD: Vietnam conflict before the 1960s.
Today: The mid-east conflict in the 1990s.

AD: Kennedy assassination in 1963. (Some call it the end of innocence.)
Today: September 11th - similar event, end of innocence.

AD: Rising conflict in Vietnam. (Turns into a major war.)
Today: Rising conflict in Iraq/Afghanistan. (Turns into a major war.)

AD: Many protests against the Vietnam war.
Today: Many protests against the Iraq war.

My best friend and I are always talking about how that is one of the reasons we love the show so much. It's also neat to watch this with my family, who was alive for all of it in the 60s, and hear them compare it to what we are going through now.
