Joe Ted found Lenin to be left and Stalin to be right. Why do you think he "favors" one dictator and murderer over another - sounds like he favors Lenin. Was it because Lenin was bold? -Albert

Well, Tim, let me confuse the issue some more.......Lenin was probably left, Stalin right, Castro is left and the old Shah of Iran was right......so is the current Ayatollah. Israel's system of gov't is left but Sharon is right. To define the differences is difficult... Let me help. Your definition is right = bad, left = good. Therefore, dictatorships to whom you left wingers have some sentimental attachments are left (=good) the ones you hate or feel dissappointed in are right (=bad). Joe, aren't we just a little bit defensive. First, there is very little if any good in a dictatorship. So it must be your bias that makes you think Castro or Lenin have some good to them. Then again, it could be that old conservative paranoia rearing its ugly head......."you're either aginst us or fer us". <g> In any case, I am not impressed with any dictator and if it makes you happy, I will make Stalin left and Castro right. In the final analysis, it makes little difference to me. ted
