Well actually no. So did the French, the Belgiums, the Dutch, Austrians, the Swedish, the North Africans, etc, etc all experienced occupation by the Germans. Where on earth did you learn your history from?

[/quote] PS "It surely cannot be equating dictatorships to democracy? Or can it?" Read Aristotle on it. Its contradictionary. Democracy can be same cruel as worst dictatorship. Or you reaslly thing that majority is always right? Especially uneducated majority. Stalin Constitution 1936 or Brezhnev's 1977 were very democratic. Do they work? NO. End of story [/quote]

So, Stalin and Brezhnev were challenged for political power by an opposition that were supported or given voice by a free press and a electorate that were given free choice. Interesting.
