Lost my response. Try again but was afraid I wasn't getting teh point. Not sure I follow your intent. I see your user name in other post. I have seen much of late on russia not on health. 15 yr anniv. since its collapse and viewed a number of related on cspan. Reason for its collapse, many reasons and jury still out. Interesting note 60% of Russians wish to return, 30% of that possibly nastalgia they claimed? Also a new book on Russia called Lenins tomb, a remark or two the author made towards Trotsky put me off, he may be quite informed??? I cannot profess to be a scholar, I know trying to contain my frustrations I am swinging (BINDLY!) more and more to the left. The injustices and the lies, as the whole becomes deeper and darker with no accountability. I feel I could no longer defend this system with its hidden crimes any more than the attrocites of Stalin's. What I suspect they or(industrialized nations lead by the US, and corrupted UN)to steal the control of natural resources of the middle east alone with genocidal intents, how do those numbers relate. Lets leave out all the numerous other, Vietnam, Korea, S.A., Panama, we could go on. No matter which system, when greed and corruption hits, how can one judge the basics of the original ideology. The silence around me and yet there are voices, just not in my proximity. Has become to the point I care not if I upset my own people if it makes them talk more, even at avoiding interacting with me. Back to the russians at the moment please if you have the time direct me to an enlightenment link page of sorts. I will have to check some other readings I am behind, to see if any russian is in and see if I can translate it. I see you are registered here. I will have to pursue things to more depth later. Probably over reacting to your intent. Will watch for your comment. Should this be moved to the blog option?
