EagleSeven - if historical documents about US will give you good laughs you are actually laughing to yourself ... as USA is probably your home country.

I can understand that just ordinary Americans who are not reading academic documents and not even political newspapers, cannot understand what I am writing as the light-minded propaganda of politicians has given completely different perception. You must buy a very thin book Modern History of USA (reviewed by several history professors) and you can read exactly those same articles which I have mentioned in my links.

For me the situation is very easy to understand as I have lived close to Soviet border ... there also the truth and people's perceptions used to be far from each others.
