The Importance of Seeing the Pathologies

I don't think Solzhenitsyn was wrong. He believed that the Soviet Union was going to endure and the United States would do that. Most of Eastern Europe is free today. And tell me about Western Europe. They're free, too. To fall apart, to disintegrate. When you've suffered, you've got to deal with what's real. But if you've had the advantages of the West, I think that in that case, Solzhenitnsy,. it's right in the sense that you do rock from within. You've lost to, quote, Rocky, the eye of the tiger.
