Poland: Hungary In 1956 Vs Iraq Now · Global Voices
Veronica Khokhlova

The beatroot writes about “the major difference between Hungary back then and Iraq today”: “Hungarians led the uprising, which was later crushed by a Superpower. In Iraq today, a Superpower has ‘liberated’ Iraq and is now experiencing an insurgency by some Iraqis (and a few cross- border terrorist weirdos).” He also writes about Feliks Dzierżyński, an ethnic Pole, “a much hated figure” in today's Poland, the father of what later became the KGB.
