Oppressive Communism & GeeDubya.

Steph's parents just got back from a 2-night jog over to Prague during their visit with us. They absolutely loved the city and, like us, would recommend everyone add it to their lifetime list of travel destinations.

In my opinion, Prague should be counted among the "great cities of Europe" alongside Paris, Rome, London, Vienna, and a few others.

I just wanted to share this ad they noticed on the back of a tourist map. It is for the Museum of Communism. The Czechs are not in any way celebrating the communist years any more than American celebrate our Civil War or the institution of slavery, they are simply remembering it.

Take a close look at the tag line -

PARANOIA, PROPAGANDA, MILITARY INVASIONS.
NO, IT'S NOT GEORGE W'S AMERICA.

It is funny, yet sad. The foreign policy position of this administration & its attack on civil liberties in the name of securing our national interests is nothing new in other parts of the world. They lived through decades of similar regimes and are still paying the price.
