Revising Cold War History - Volume 1

As I've said, this blog is not a 'let's-all-hate-Obama' party, but when the President of the USA goes to Russia and COMPLETELY misrepresents the nature of Cold War and enforces an equivilence that doesn't exist, I have to point it out.

The article below is excellent at doing just that:

Obama Rewrites the Cold War

There are two different versions of the story of the end of the Cold War: the Russian version, and the truth. President Barack Obama endorsed the Russian version in Moscow last week...

Here is one quote from the article that I thought was rather outstanding, and shows how far we have fallen from the tree of common sense:

"No people in history have preserved their freedom who thought that by not being strong enough to protect themselves they might prove inoffensive to their enemies." - President Harry S. Truman
