The political spectrum is a circle so when you go too far to the perceived left you tend to end up returning via the right.
It works the other way, too.

Why? I think they are more a danger to their own people and those of former Soviet states than they are the West.

For me all these guys are guilty. I know things are more complicated in politics and national interest is always what it counts ( they say that even Lenin was brought to Russia by german secret services), but still...
I don't care if today my country is classified as western ( now don't make me laugh.....) or eastern. Economic development is relative but the psychic trauma we have suffered for about 50 years will follow us for a very long period of time.

Can I just say that I am wiruwiru and I approve Garry Walker's messages on this thread.
Ben, where would you draw the line between East and West? Still along the Iron Curtain? I don't think the distinction is so much geographical as it is cultural. As Samuel Huntington would probably say, it's a matter of civilizations. Here is his map of civilizations from 1996.
