Sad Day

Alexandr Solzhenitsyn has died. We have lost one of the great ones. He was a man driven by his convictions and unafraid of the evil that was USSR. He did not finish with the Soviet Union. Indeed he criticized the West for its capitulation and convergence theory and brought steely glares and hisses from his Harvard audience when condemning cooperation with USSR and the lack of courage to make sacrifice in meeting this evil. The West was so caught up in self that is could not be bothered with what was going on in Russia.
