I don't know if it's a fair comparison; the British and Communist Russia.

I'm not entirely sure either, but bear in mind the British committed their fair share of atrocities on us - if they were such a good bunch, there wouldn't have been an American Revolution. Certainly they didn't murder people as Stalin did, but the idea that one can change ideologies and overthrow a government is one with which we should be familiar.

The real point I was trying to make is, if any man committed heinous acts in the name of Communism, he should be dealt with - and those who did not, but were associated with the party apparatus, should be given the benefit of the doubt. Obviously the Russian people have already done this, or Putin wouldn't be president.

Putin has promoted a hardliner, Sergi Ivanov, to be defence minister AND prime minister. The KPRF approved, with glee, of this move.

Iran is playing a game where it gets control of the middle east, like the ancient persian empire, and Russia is playing a game where it gets control of Iran and the middle east and access to warm water ports that it has coveted since Ivan the Great.

Yeah like earlier I was flamed for saying this. I do not believe in crazy premontions but Nostradamus saw this in the movie with Orson Wells who said the end of the world would be a person from Persia and from Russia.
I saw the movie the first time when I was 9 and it was a little crazy. Then later in like after the fall of the wall.
The area in the movie of this leader is in the area of Syria and Iran, which used to be Persia.

Your thoughts about george would be correct if in the later part of his govt. service he was trying to bring back the king. Putin seems to be more from the old Commies for peace crowd. JMV
