and the enemy is.....?

Epitaph:
Between WW11 and the collapse of the Soviet Union, we saw our enemies as the evil ones--just as we do now. The enemy had WMD--just as they do now. They spied on their citizens without warrants--just as we do now. Their citizens could be fired and were called unpatriotic for criticizing their leader--just as we can now.

They excluded god from their government--just as we do now. They had secret prisons where they tortured people--just as we do now. They believed in spreading their ideology throughout the world at any cost--just as we do now. They sent their soldiers to die in the middle east--just as we do now.

Their empire ended in economic collapse--our national debt will double under these Republicans to over $9 trillion. We met the enemy and it could have been us.
