First of all.... Damo's avatar is rediculous..... I think a definite custom job by those higher up as a possible reaction towards drunken postings.. It's hilarious. Sorry damo but it is.
To go back to the original question of why the USSR is not treated the same as Nazi Germany..... I think because Nazi Germany was the instigator of the war... the spark that set things in motion. In every spectical there needs to be a legitimate scapegoat...... and nazi germany fits the bill to a T. Scapegoat may not be the exact term I'm thinking of however... This implies that they were innocent bystanders or something. Maybe it's just a willingness to find blame where people think blame is due.
Speaking from an open empirical mind..... there are at least two or more sides to a story and if you go back far enough nobody's innocent.
This is what I always contemplate before passing judgment.... and after that rationale.... I can never pass judgement.
Ahh.... this is such a deep matter.... it's hard to talk about it without getting emotional.
There have been many emotional responses to this seemingly innocent question. Take a deep breath and count to ten.
Also, nobody knew the history of psychology like Stalin did.
