And we all know how fair and balanced this will be: So far, I've only heard of the communists publishing a newspaper in Baghdad since it fell. After all, the younger folks can look at Cuba and see what a terrific society this is....communism at it's "best" (an oxymoron if there ever was one)....people trying to flee every day...society now poverty stricken...of course, NOT Castro and his buddies.... and for those of us who are older, we can remember the Soviet Union before it fell....Kruschev banging with his shoe, missile crisis near Cuba, first bobwire, then the Berlin Wall to keep people IN and NOT let them out....and we can remember when Reagan helped to make it fall. Communism has a lot to answer for. Many of our new US citizens would be more than happy to share their thoughts about Communism and how horrible it was ....One of my older friends is an artist, lives in the area, and tells of the escape she and her son made from Hungary...with bullets flying everywhere. Many of her family and friends were killed. She feels indeed fortunate to live in the US, and says so as loud and clear as she can!
