[Vision2020] Who was a friend of the big bad bear?

S.D.I. impossible in the 80's, Ophite?  Hell, we put MEN ON THE  MOON in the 
60's.  We certainly thought we could produce such a system, and  given our 
history of fast mobilization in a crises, the Soviets believed we  could.  ERGO:  
Ronald Reagan won the cold war.  I know that tends  to bind you up....  Try 
more fiber.
 
Where did you defend Stalin's actions?  You didn't and of course I  never 
said you did.  I simply tried to point out that "paper tigers" as you  
characterized the Soviet union, do not consume millions of innocents.
 
I never said that only groups like the weather underground were influenced  
by Soviet involvement.  What I am suggesting is that there was a broad  
spectrum of sympathy for communist totalitarianism among the left in the 50's  and 
60's.  Now their enthusiasm takes the form of an occasion wistful  tear.
 
Hope this helps to clear up your understanding of this question.
 
Best,   --Tony
