a poll on this subject today would be interesting -- how many really believe the myth that Reagan's big military spending program forced the Soviet Union to buckle -- I've heard a number of people say this -- I think it was simply wealth transfer to the military industrial complex >>VO: For the neoconservatives, the collapse of the Soviet Union was a triumph. And out of that triumph was going to come the central myth that still inspires them today: that through the aggressive use of American power, they could transform the world and spread democracy. But in reality, their victory was an illusion. They had conquered a phantom enemy, an exaggerated and distorted fantasy they had created in their own minds. The real reason the Soviet Union collapsed was because it was a decrepit system, decaying from within.<<
