Any more than the rest of the campaign turned Republicans into blithering apologists for Iraq who can't help but work 9/11 into it.
Here is a list of countries with communist parties. In some cases, these parties play a role in a coalition government. Let me know who you want to bomb next.
BTW, I don't apologize for Communism or for Capitalism. I just don't believe Stalin represents all Communism any more than I believe that Kenneth Lay represents all of Caplitalism or Boss Tweed represents all of Democracy. Nor do I believe you can discuss Communism without differentiating between, say, Marxism, Leninism, and Stalinism - any more than you can say Democracy without discussing the difference between a true democracy and a republic, which is what the US actually is. If you want slogans like Communism=Murder or Capitalism=Greed, then for that kind of simplistic crap you have to talk to the Jingoes. There seem to be a lot of them around these days.
