"After the second world war, which as an aside, it can reasonably be argued, the USSR was the single most important part of the defeat of Hitler, achieved at a hideous domestic cost to the USSR, it wasn't just the atomic scientists whom were chopped between the USSR and the USA, it was also the marketeers and philosophies."
The problems is this: (1) Why did the U.S.S.R. enter World War II? Because they were attacked, and not to liberate other countries. (2) You mean, as others appear, to suggest that one of the spoils of war from loosing many men on the battlefield is to occupy another country, stripping its people of basic freedoms and liberties? How about do the noble thing, accept some thanks and parades, and go home, satisfied that you made life better for countless other people. Stalin saw it as an opportunity, which, apparently, is fine with some here.
Those who do should stop bitching that Bush is doing the same thing in Iraq.
