Magda, Albert,
Again, you're making the same miscalculation that Vasilios makes.
"The Soviets" is a meaningless concept.
Would you suggest seriously that "the Americans" is a valid description of the forces that dictated "U.S." Cold War policy and cultural essence?
Who are "the Americans"? John Kennedy? Curtis Lemay? David Rockefeller? Thomas Merton? The Duponts? Barry Goldwater? Adlai Stevenson? The GOP? The Democrats? Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley?

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
