Whoa, first he takes the bold step of badmouthing Janet Reno from a few thousand miles away (Wooo-EEE! Tha's bad, Jack!), now he's quoting forum rules (that I have clearly broken

Dude, you keep making stuff up. You don't have the barest clue about what various KGB dudes were thinking. Neither do I actually, but I can tell I've had a lot more exposure to the matter than you have.
A lot of those guys really believed in the Great Soviet Union, or some such nonsense. Likewise for Napoleon's soldiers. Those popular movements never get off the ground if there isn't widespread patriotic support.
The point is, Sherlock, dissenting voices usually always find someone, in power or otherwise, who strenuously disagree with the opinion being expressed. The societies that grow are the ones who don't censure peacefully expressed dissent.
Your have clearly shown a willingness to "relieve yourself" on these fools crawling at your feet. The attitude is more like the KGB than Jefferson and Franklin.
