It is truly bizaare in America that you can see someone wearing a Hammer and Sickle t-shirt hanging around the general area of the Holocaust museum and no one sees the paradox.
After WWII the cry was never again - well in that time there have been at least four more crimes against humanity of the same scope; Cambodia, China, Vietnam after the war, and Rwanda, of which your average American has probably only heard of the latter.
And of course our Soviet allies from WWII killed more people by a factor of 3-5 then did the NAZIs.
As RJ Rummel, the foremost expert on political mass murder (democide) has said, "Power kills, and absolute power kills absolutely," and there is no more all powerful form of government then that of communism.
I like the way you think.
