See, the Reagan like fanaticism that the Communists were automatically bad is silly.

To be blunt, our side did some truly horrific things during the Cold War. The biggest of which was our support for Pakistan during the the 1971 South Asian War. We supported a genocide on Bangladesh, one that killed 1.5 to 3 million in just 9 months. The rate of Murder exceeded even the Holocaust.

That should and will be a millstone around the neck of the US for the rest of this nation’s existence. To the USSR’s credit, they supported India in that War, and prevented us and the PRC from intervening. We should be giving aid to Bangladesh, lots of it, until we have atoned for not only letting it happen again, but then supporting it.

But, not my worry. If the Catholic Church doesn’t evolve, they become will weaken massively.
