Communism was easy

Communism was relatively easy to defeat. I grew up under it. Very few people actually believed in the doctrine and most wanted American way of life and did not consider America an enemy.

Radical muslims don't care that an average American owns 10 pairs of jeans, Russians did. It will be so much more difficult if at all possible. Too bad that our biggest enemy owns our energy source.
