And here lies the dilemma, the Soviet's were sane, they could act logically, they had the concept of self preservation and protecting their citizens. What can one do when your opponent does not cherish their childrens future? when they will willingly send their children off to murder in explosive suicide? I fear that ideology can never be reconciled with peacefull coexistence, it must be wiped out and the only way to do that is freedom (both politics and market) and liberty; it is like the ultimate killer of totallitarianism. That cannot be enforced upon people.
