“When external and internal forces hostile to the development of socialism try to turn the development of a given socialist country in the direction of the restoration of the capitalist system, when a threat arises to the cause of socialism in that country ... this is no longer merely a problem for that country's people, but a common problem, the concern of all socialist countries.” PeopleTryingCountryProblemTurnsGivenForceCausesCommonDevelopmentConcernThreatAriseSocialismInternalsCapitalistSocialistHostileRestorationSocialist Countries Author:Leonid Brezhnev
“When anger is not trampling roughshod through our nervous system, it is sitting sullenly in some unspecified internal organ. "She's got a lot of anger in her," people will say (it nestles, presumably, somewhere in the gut), or, "He's a deeply angry man" (as opposed, presumably, to a superficially angry one).

But I can't be sure that old habits won't reassert themselves.” IfsThinkingWantYearsLooksI CanTurnsFoundForceUnitedEnemyHabitBenefitsConstantKillingAwfulAccomplishedInternalsInvitationsTalibanInstabilityAfghanKilling Each OtherOld Habits Author:Lawrence Eagleburger
