I got flamed for it at the time, but I said I was ashamed to see my country on the wrong side while Russia was on the right side...

To some extent I understand this. In 1999 I met a young refugee in Britain, a "Yugoslav" Serb Christian. I got into a discussion with her, and criticized their treatment of the Kosovo Moslems. She tried to explain that most of it was a defense of their way of life. She abruptly gave up, saying her English wasn't good enough to explain, and promptly started sobbing.

Now I know better!

God help us. I think I might have cried with her. Only mine would have been tears of shame.
