What Is True, and What Only Appears to Be True?
The Belmont Club is a very strong blog about the War on Terror and about international affairs in general. The proprietor of the blog uses the pseudonym Wretchard.
Today he has posted a very strong essay about Joe Stalin and how he was about to conduct a purge, perhaps his greatest purge ever, when he suddenly died under suspicious circumstances in March 1953.
Stalin may have been assassinated just as he was getting ready to consummate one of his greatest crimes. But that is not the point of Wretchard's post.
He connects Stalin to the current War on Terror and poses an important question about the religion of Islam.
Go check it out!
