It'd be nice if he just said he was wrong. Nobody would care. But instead he tries to explain it away. I hope he doesn't really believe this. From the article: "...rather than admitting he was wrong at the time he wrote the book, he tries to explain it by suggesting that the Soviets somehow worsened their behavior after 1970. In fact, the crushing of the Prague Spring, the construction of the Berlin Wall and Stalin's forced collectivization campaign all happened before Mr. Lieberman wrote his book. The Soviet Union threatened the free world from the very inception of that totalitarian state in a coup by a group of Bolshevik thugs, not as a result of some post-1970 increase in aggressiveness imagined by Mr. Lieberman."
