<<Some Hungarian friends of mine (now in their early 70s) recall that initially the US encouraged the Hungarians to rebel against the Soviets but "reneged" on its tacit promise to render aid to ensure the success of their uprising. To them this was a betrayal of the nth degree and is a disgrace and black mark against the US. To be sure, Uncle Sam was not a nice guy where Hungary was concerned.>> Yes, Hungary 1956 is another part of modern history. Ironic part is they received more humanitarian help from others communist countries than from those who encouraged them for the upraising. S.America - I have a Chilean friend who told me lots of stories about American style of democracy. BTW, I liked Brazil answer to the screening and strip searching Brazilian tourist coming to the US. Some American pilots experienced the same treatment but couldn't hold their emotions and had to pay the price.
