With the retreat of the Red Army from Afghanistan followed by the fall of the Soviet Union, Jimmy Carter’s national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, in the last few years has been claiming the U.S. provoked the Afghan War. He said this was done with some grand strategy in mind to bring on the collapse of the Soviets. In other words, it was he and Carter who made the wall come down, not Reagan.

In other words, it was he and Carter who made the wall come down, not Reagan.

The only thing that makes that hilarious is that you know they both REALLY believe this, the deluded fools. Carter nightly probably bristles when some reference to Reagan bringing down the wall comes over the TV.

Within a year we will see revisionism of this, ala the "Reagan was a racist" attempt earlier this year; someone will writer a column reflecting what you posted, and someone else will reference it, etc.

My early Christmas present was seeing that documentary about Carter flop without a sound.

Not that you asked, but here's a review buy Roger Ebert of the Carter doc--get ready to hurl--url cut to prevent stretching:
