This is like saying that the glorious and benevolent Red Army |"liberated" Eastern Europe whereas the Marshall Plan was an insidious |capitalist Allied plot to enslave Western Europe and incarcerate West |Berlin behind a Wall! :-) :-) :-) Hey! Go ahead and make fun of MS all you want, but not the Red Army... And yes, those two statement you made were pretty much true--or, more true than you may think. You don't think we implemented the Marshall plan for purely benevolent reasons, do you? No, of course not. And the Red Army was implemented for reasons other than benevolence as well. _____________________________________________________________________ Phosphor "Religion is the sigh of the opressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions.
