How can you possibly think that a people WITHOUT freedom is "better off" than a people WITH freedom?
Read of the chaos in Iraq, of the demostrations against our presence and of the failure to establish a government. And the most troublesome aspect, the creation of more terrorists determined to eliminate us.
Do you think Reagan's success in bringing down the USSR was a good thing? Because after the fall, there was widespread chaos (there still is, in some areas over a decade later), trouble establishing a stable government, the rise of the Russian Maffia, and a dramatic rise in Islamic fundamentalism.
Following your tenuous "logic", the end of the Soviet Union was a bad thing. Do you believe that?
