#2 What's really distinctive about Communists in Moslem societies is that Communists are openly athiest. I think that the voters are not voting so much for Communist economics as they are voting for Communist athiesm.

#6 If my memory doesn't fail me Iraq's communist party supported (although in a grudging way) operation Iraqui Freedom. Anyone has fainted?
