Certainly, since as we know they were only as strong ("tigers") as they were to
ward off the communist threat. I don't think any policy wonk in Washington even
denied this. Then that begs the question: Did the pay-off, a direct result of
the USSR, indeed not become a great bulwark against it as well? It is evident
over the last two years that wothout socialist counter-balance, the entire third
world is being retreated back into the "proper place"- pure raw labour and
resources.
