Independence Day

[PawelM]

I am not Americanand also prefer to stay away from discussion which dmeocracy is more 'democratic'.

One thing which I feel I can comment is about some countries ending up Communist. As far as my history goes the only country in Europe with self imposed Communism was Soviet Union. The whole rest of former 'communist block' adapted communism in the presence of liberating Red Army with passive stance from western allies. Therefore I feel it is a bit harsh to say those countries willingly chosen this political system. I more agree with fascism where Italy and Germany or Spain ( well the latter one only after a civil war).

PS. I am sure one could find many countries where people take the democracy for granted and do not cheerish what they have?
