15th line :
Z.BRZZ : It is not exactly that : we did not push the Russians into a military intervention (in Afghanistan). We have volontarily increased the chances that they intervene.

(Main body now :)

N.O. Don't you regret anything ?
ZBRZZ: Regret what ? This operation was an excellent idea. It had the result of attracting the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it ? The day the Russians crossed the border, I wrote to Prezzidient(phonetics provided free of charge) Carter telling him "Now we have the opportunity to give the Russians their Vietnam." In fact Moskou had to carry on with a war it could not afford for almost ten years, a war that demoralized its regime and had the effect of pushing into the collapse of the Russian Empire.

N.O Don't you regret having helped Integrist Islam ... Of having given advice (know how) to zé future terroristes ?

WBZZ: What's the most important as far as the world goes ? The Talibs or the fall of the Russian Empire ? Some worked up Islamists or the liberation of central Europe and the end of the cold war ?

N.O. A few illuminated ? It is said time and again : Islamic fondamentalism today represents a world threat.

ZBZZ: Stupidities. It has been said that that the West should have a common policy toward Islamism. It's stupid : there is no global Islamism. Let's look at Islam in a rational manner without any demagogy or in an emotional way. It's the first religion of the planet with 1.5 billion followers. But what is the common link between fundamentalist Saudi Arabia, moderated Morocco, militarist Pakistan, pro West Egypt or secular central Asia ? Nothing more than what units the country of Christianity.

Text etc by so and so.
