  I agree with T.C. Wheeler's argument about Soviet Union. I think
he pointed out the differences between the Socialist and Capitalist
societies. But he forgot to mention that US will screw any country
if they see any kind of trouble to the US economy. Whatever he said
about Soviet Union are done by US and vice versa. Of course if US
wants expand it's power in Central America, then it is friendship
and democracy, if Soviet Union wants to do the same in Afghanistan
it's called Communism and Barbarism. Both US and Soviet Union have
double standard's on what they do. US condemns the Soviet presence
in Afghanistan and Soviets condemn US presence in Central America.
If these are related to economy and trade of the respective countries
then is it possible to create the proper conditions within the
country so that they don't  have to depend on other countries and
kill their own children, so that some big company makes a huge profit
or in case of Soviet Union their goods can be sold. Certainly I am
not suggesting either one is better or worse.
