I was reading The First World War, by John Keegan last night, and came across his recounting of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and more interestingly, the October Revolution, where the Bolsheviks took power, and introduced the rule of the Soviet Union to Russia. In the war, Russia was fighting the Central powers, consisting of Germany, Austria, and Turkey.
After loosing hundreds of thousends of young russian pesents in the war, where several hundred miles of ground were lost, the people of russia began to lose their nerve to fight. The monarchy was overthrown early in 1917, and in October, Vladmir Lennin, with the assistance of the Germans, lead an asscension to the throne of Russia, and instituted Communisim. One of the main tennets of his revolution? Peace. Peace with the invaders, the Germans, the Austrians, and even the Turks. After Three Months of negotiations with the enemy, Germany broke the cease fire, and took another 150 miles of the eastran front. Immediatly, Lennin gave into all german demands.
And how about the liberals of today? Lets have Peace with the terrorists. Why do they hate us? John Kerry, Sen. Biden, Clinton, Shumer, and all the other liberals want us to stop fighting the war on terror, and negotiate a peace. And at the same time, they call Bush Hitler, and call for an impeachment.
Liberals are Liberals, wherever they may be.
