Sorry, whilst the threat is real the method by which is dealt with is more to do with controlling the population than their safety. I do remember the bombs on the underground, I was sitting reading the reports that reached the civil authorities before they made it to the news, worrying about friends I knew to be there, but frankly none of that tallys with the political endevors of those propogating the WOT, but that's for another thread eh?

There is no equality in communism.....It is the dictatorship of the worker by a select few. All workers are treated equally bad(exploited) and if they don't like it they are all equally put in gulags. That is defacto communism, if you actually buy that crap Lennin and Marx wrote, then I have a bridge in New York for sale, real cheap, you can send me a check.

And here you demonstrate what you have missed, all that 'crap' Lenin and Marx wrote was the theory of what a communist state would be, any state that doesn't achieve that is therefore by definition not communist, exploitation of the workers is by definition the opposite of communism. Communism is a theory, a state that is not drawn up along the lines defined by the theory is no more communist than Nazi Germany was a democracy!

I prefer Nathan Brittles point of view, even if it is at odds with my British upbringing (a people who apoloise for everything, regardless of who is at fault).

Well, I think after awhile it is simply the motivation for survival on both sides of the front.

True enough, but I think you may have to meet a few Russian vets to understand where they were coming from.
