Reply #43: Even in the worst of the Nixon years

there was not this idealogical bloc of government so hellbent on controlling the world, and willing to trash the Constitution and foreign relations in the process.

Although not so in the particular case of North Vietnam, the fear of communism taking over the world was far more legitimate than that of terrorism. Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, North Korea, Yugoslavia, and Albania had all become "satellites" of the Soviet Union.

IMO the PNAC mindset is equivalent to that of the expansionist postwar Soviet Union, and equally (or more) dangerous.
