Entry: The "Good War" and the Terrible Peace Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_good_war_and_the_terrible_peace#29566 Post contents: "As for the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk Germany imposed on Russia in 1918, is Hanson aware that the prison house of nations for which he wails, which was forced to disgorge Finland, the Baltic republics, Poland, Ukraine and the Caucasus, was ruled by Bolsheviks?...What were the consequences for Poland of trusting in Britain? Crucifixion on a Nazi-Soviet cross, the Katyn massacre of the Polish officer corps, Treblinka and Auschwitz, annihilation of the Home Army, millions of brave Polish dead, half a century of Bolshevik terror." Neocons like Hanson fixate on Germans and Nazism as original sin and ignore Bolshevism/Communism (and denigrate those who don’t) for two reasons: because their intellectual forebears emerged from the Communist milieu, and because their current statist-authoritarian program so resembles that of their forebears, any reminder of the evils of Bolshevism is unwelcome and untimely. The Bolsheviks murdered millions of Christians, yet the Neocons seek to bury that history. What does that tell you? Sent at: 2009 01 08
