> BUT stalin help the nazi only to protect Soviet Union At least he fought them and won. What excuses have French for Vichy "Republic"? > the west who actually have financed, formed and armed local nazis to keep up the eastward expansion of NATO I've never been in favor of the expansion to the east of EU, imagine what I think of NATO expansion... And not because I don't like people from east Europe, but because we all know too well what happens when you finance "freedom fighters" against your enemy: they become the Saddam Husseins, the Bin Ladens, the contras and the Talibans. We should stop it.

> What excuses have French for Vichy "Republic"? No "excuse", Philippe Pétain have simply understood that war for France was lost and he choose the Germans because they were less oppressive than the Brits the France gov. choose. Actually at first he was right. He imagin Germans from WWI not nazis, of course, but history tell a thing: German nazis was no more "nazi" than neoliberals who win them. Oh and I say that from a socialist point of view, read that last sentence three time. A thing I learn from the history is that some regimes start with good ideas, but they end very badly, some other prefer "less good" ideas and sometimes they land less badly. What I still miss is how Democracy can born. And that's a big issue for me...
