mike, don't buy into the stupidity of the Left that says Iran can't be an enemy because only Bush is an enemy. Nobody else can do anything, only big bad America. Or should that be Amerikkka?

Second, will you get off the 1945 thing? All I said - with complete historical accuracy - is that many parts of the US Army and fp establishment favored war with the USSR in 1946 while the US had nukes but USSR didn't, and that the result might have improved the history of Eastern Europe post WWII.

You don't think that Eastern Europe had a happy history from 1945 to 1990, do you? You agree they would have preferred to share the fate of Western Europe, don't you?
