Well, well. So many thoughts. So many words.
Genghis Khan, the Ottoman Turks, Solzhenitsyn are all problematical, indeed, along with Norman conquerers, slaughtered American Natives and the US healthcare system. Perhaps I decorated my simple point too lavishly? I was just commenting that the Soviet system was, among other things, resoundingly corrupt (not unlike comparable Western governmental systems). Secondly, as stated, but possibly lost in the dust of many hoofbeats, I think it's of little value trading one set of vices for another. Better to resonate with virtue, in my view. In this instance, I would argue, over sensitive bickering, to some degree, actually amplifies the divisiveness desired by our dear leaders...in the US of A or in Russia or in whatever negative regime you personally favor or disfavor. In other words, what's missing here is kindness and civility, yoghurt, macrame, Woodstock and love. (Oops, there I go with the over decoration again!)
