Mx has a point. The situation was symmetrical, i.e. from their POV the
Warsaw Pact thought they were "protecting" themselves from an imminent
attack by NATO.

Really, you think so? I love revisionist history.

Apparently German schools are teaching the same type of relativistic
history ("There is no 'right' or 'wrong' -- just various shades of
gray") that American schools are starting to inflict on our kids.

Wolfgang is a free man today, and can believe whatever he wants,
precisely BECAUSE of what our parents and grandparents did for him.
Perhaps someday he'll come to understand that...
