You just set yourself up for a trap, Fez If you dont support the war in Chechnya, how can you support the war in Iraq?
Counter trap. If you support the war in Chechnya, why not in Iraq?
"Fez, I would think of you as a better man if you just admitted it."
Admitted what?
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)
That would be a nice trap, if I believed in the war in Chechnya
To support Putin you have to.

You'll noticed I very carefully said that believing in the ideology of communism is stupid.
And, it's further worth noting that the track record of capitalism ( albeit, at least a little regulated) indicates that the quality of life for the average joe is a lot better than it is in communist countries.
Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.
Following your logic Verto any kind of Christian symbolic should be banned to - isn't Catholic Church responsible for inquisition, crusades, and a bunch of other niceties?
Russian communism is essentially a social experiment that went wrong. Right now it is easy to say how wrong it was. Back in 1917 it was not obvious and communist ideas had some substantial support from people around the world. Heck, judging by Apolyton it has not completely lost its appeal even now.
There is a big difference between a regime that built up its ideology around hatred of "lesser" nations and a regime that tried to achieve brotherhood and equality for everyone.
An example with Christianity just shows that people possesed by some sort of messianic zeal often end up doing terrible things.
It is only totalitarian governments that suppress facts. In this country we simply take a democratic decision not to publish them. - Sir Humphrey in Yes Minister
Fez, I just remembered I've got a list of history websites about three pages long, and several of them were devoted to propaganda posters. I have diligently copied them in here for your convenience, if you'd like to check them out.
