Tom Hayden complementing the Soviet Union?

In this article Former Mr. Jane Fonda says, "Radical Islamic fundamentalism has risen in the vacuum created by the failures of political Arab nationalism (and the end of the Soviet Union, which, whatever else may be said, supported non-religious revolutionary movements). The radical religious-based movements are here to stay.

So it is understandable that the vast majority of Americans responded to September 11 with existential cries for public safety and a military response. And if Bin Laden or his successor carry out further attacks against American civilians, the politics of repression will deepen. The problem is that conservatives inside and outside the Bush administration are seeking to take advantage of America’s understandable fears to push a right-wing agenda that would not otherwise be palatable. In short, they are playing patriot games with the nation’s future."

Great insight into the mind of a communist sypathizer, or just another left wing nut ?
