a great victory?

Was World War Two such a great victory for freedom and democracy?  If it had truly been, we would not today be in the terrible situation we are in.  The USA is a militaristic nightmare---that is part of the legacy of the so-called "victory".  And that "victory" is part of a continuous chain of events leading to the massacre of millions in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, the war in Iraq, the murders in Panama by Papa Bush, etc., etc., etc.  And, anyway, the war would never have been won without the sacrifice of millions of Russian lives.....The propaganda machine does not allow these truths to be told.

The man who keeps a machine gun under his bed would refuse to hear this!
