I'm not a politician or BBC commenter to 'balance' everything on a pharmacy scale. I thought ET readers are educated enough to know the broad history of the 20th century well enough, so that I don't need to deviate from my message to a general history lesson. (And I certainly didn't just mention the gulags anyway.)

You must excuse me, I will answer your post in more detail when I have more time (I don't have much this week, preparing for a French exam - I even wrote this post in advance, and right now I comment at the expense of sleeping time...), but I will say that poemless got those five points dead right.
