re: #195 Achilles Tang

You cannot make a rational comparison between the USSR and a dictator like Saddam willing to do anything to stay in power; nor with a dictatorship like Iran operating for the will of Allah.

One does not need insane people to do bad or stupid things.

Yes I can. The USSR was an evil dictatorship, too. But they were, within limits, rational. I have seen nothing that suggests that Saddam was irrational or that the Iranians are.
