Time is definitely on our side. With every day that goes by, with every technological advancement, communism becomes more and more of an anachronism. They're struggling to remain relevant but they are increasingly useless.

Sure, they may yet take over a few third world countries where the level of technology and social conditions are the equivalent of the early 20th century, but once they Cuba-ize those nations, they'll be cast out... Just like Hugo Chavez will be.

In our country, give it 40 years or so. All the hippy-dippy, drug-addled, SDS baby-boomers will be residing comfortably with Tim Leary and Ira Einhorn in hell and their weak-minded progeny will lack the drive and intelligence to carry on their work undermining the universities, churches, and institutions of America. We will have our country back. We just have to be vigilent, pick our fights carefully, and make sure we win when we fight. God bless America! Death to Communism!

Re your last paragraph: YES!...UNLESS we do not act immediately to destroy the dreams of Arab Empire in the minds of Saddam, Assad, the mullahs, and al Quieda. The fate of communism is tied to the fate of the middle-eastern Arab region: they are joined at the hip. Without radical Arab hegemony, there is little hope for the communist party in the former Soviet Union's Asian republics. With a malignant Arab empire, there is every reason to believe that Georgia, Ukraine, and all the "stans" will soon be recommitted to the party line, and the West will be weak and vulnerable to agitations as it spends itself in a greater effort to thwart the designs of Saddamites.

Destroy Saddam: destroy communists. (Shucks, that;s why this war is so damn important. Bush can't say it, though, 'cause he'll be accused of tinfoilitis)IMHO
