One of the few real delights of living through the latter part of the 20th century has been watching our former enemies, the communist countries, renounce their godless ways and become "born again", so to speak. The newly free and unashamedly Christian east, is the real wild-card in the war on terrorism.
On the other hand, our former allies, hell bent on forming a socialist super state, have gradually slipped into godless humanism, error and moral depravity.
We need to be most careful that we don't imitate them.
These nations have experienced and know what tyranny is all about. I admire their willingness to stand behind their beneficators...the U.S. Admirable...but don't turn your backs on them...for now.
