The USSR fell apart when it did thanks to one man. Ronald Reagan. And the entire world was against him when he shoved those missiles down the throats of the French and other EU countries. Much like the situation today.
Strange, I don't remember any invasion, or occupying force, and I don't think the <A HREF="http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapse_of_the_Soviet_Union" TITLE="wikipedia.org">history books</a wikipedia.org> do either, I think you might be overstating Reagan's influence on the situation.
And before you start talking about the US debt created during the same time
It's not my concern what the US government does with its finances, that's your tax dollars (I assume), not mine. However when it supplies arms to dictators like Saddam people might get a little upset. The arms supply to brutal r'egimes in Central America is another shining example of the US serving its own interests at the expense of people caught up in a civil war.
