Talk:Iron curtain
this article is errant nonsense. the "iron curtain" refers to the BOUNDARY between Soviet, Warsaw Pact nations and "free" western nations, NATO or not. The curtain was not draped OVER the Soviet east. you idiots continue to clown yourselves.
Furthermore, the implication is that the western countries did *not* heavily guard their borders with eastern countries. Olly 17:26, 11 April 2007 (EDT)
I've made some changes, but I'm not yet entirely satisfied with this article. It may be worthwhile to compare Churchill's original intent with the term's later connotation. To what degree did it refer to the line down Europe delineating the democracies from the soviets, and to what degree did it refer to Soviet isolation generally? I definitely agree the Iron Curtain originally described a linear feature, but it predates by Warsaw Pact by almost a decade..--All Fish Welcome 03:05, 15 April 2007 (EDT)
There's already a separate article at Iron Curtain. DanH 21:52, 31 May 2007 (EDT)
