But there are times when it's important to espouse the "greater good." I visited the USSR in the late '80s with my grandmother and her peace group and under Gorbachev there was such hope. And then the USSR fell in 1991 - but KGB trained Putin is doing his best to reinstate it. The Russian people we met were just like us, want the same things, so I find what's going on now to be heartbreaking.
