Pretty much. Don't fully see the relevence, but ok That's because the world saw what was happening to people living in Communist countries. In China, students were shot by the army because the government did not want to lose it's communist rule - They even shot ambulance drivers as they tried to save people. People in East Germany were clearly desperate to get out of Soviet control (including one design where the roof of a sports car would come off when it hit the barrier suppose to stop them). Don't know if this was captured on film or not, but two men were shot and left for dead by Soviet troops in the ground between the Allies and Soviets. - Right in front of the Allied soldiers and civilians in West Germany. But the men could not be helped incase they were fired upon by Soviet troops. (Although I do agree that all Americans should have free healthcare)
