      As someone (IIRC it was Sava) mentioned in another thread where this was originally brought up, this is reminiscent of a certain Simpsons episode...

        but Dean is still a great guy, and if there's a God in heaven, he'll be our next president...
        As a fellow atheist, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

          haha.

          I agree, there shouldn't be a double standard. If Bush said this we'd be making fun of him to no end for it. I like Dean, but that's a pretty dumb thing to say, especially repeatedly.

            The demise of the Soviet union has been greatly exagerated.

              I can assure you the Soviet Union has not fallen! The Soviet Bear stands ready to besiege the American infidels!

                    This is a good thread.

                      Kremlin still has Kaliningrad Oblast, White Russia, the Ukraine, Kazachstan, and all the other -stans, under firm control.

                      The only nations who were truly disentangled from the Soviet Union were the Baltic republics. However since Scandinavia is linked to Russia in so many ways that is of no importance.

                          Reminds me of how stupid Carter looked when he was quoting Amy on Defense policy.


                          The only leverage that the countries of the former Soviet Union want is the one with George Washington's picture on it.

                                The Scandinavians, unlike so many other European states, did not allow American bases on their Homeland, only the territories of Greenland, the Faroes and Iceland. Sweden was not a member of Nato. Finland was very much a friendly state.
                                In Denmark, which was a member of NATO during the Cold War and still is, the intelligence service had files of around 400.000 citizens who were presumably pro-Soviet and considered a threat to NATO security in the event of war.
                                A parliamentarian majority would not allow American warships carrying nuclear arsenals to enter Danish ports.
                                The Scandinavian countries were arguably the most socialist countries of Europe during the Cold War.
                                Cultural and scientific exchange was very high, and is now augmented by commercial exchange. In that regard they were very close to the detente policy of Germany.
