  Come on, are we all that better?  The people in Russai, even those in charge,
are human, too.  Lets not be so self righteous.  We still discriminate, use
propaganda, and do injustices every day.  Don't think so?  Do you know how
easy it is to get thrown into a mental institue never to be seen again. 
Don't tell me that the CIA is any better than the KGB.  Look at our foriegn
policy: I am not very proud of it.  Amoung other things, we are the ones who
are making and placing all the new nuclear weapons.  If Russia did this we
would be screaming WAR MONGERS all over the place.  Since it is us doing it,
though, we are just protecting our intreasts.  HA!!  When Ressia places new
weapons, any new weapons, do we say that they are just protecting their
intreasts.  NOOO!!
  Don't get me wrong; I am happy, even privileged, to be able to live in
this country.  Lets keep nationalism and propaganda down, though.  Remember, 
we *have* to live in the same world with them and if we don't do it well, we 
will *all* suffer.
