<DIV>I agree with your sentiments about Fallujah steve, but whatever you think about the composition of resistance in the city, they are right to defend it against US occupation. Period.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As regards your point that "we now know the Soviet Union [was] worse than Nazi Germany"? Do we? Agreed, the stalinist ideology, or state socialism, did far more to bury the spirit of social revolution than any amount of capitalist propaganda but don't you think view this is a bit strong?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there proof/links etc is there to support this claim?<BR><BR><B><I>steve ash <steveash_2001@yahoo.co.uk></I></B> wrote:</DIV>
