   Again you are talking without knowing the facts: Hungary happened in   
   *1956*, and that particular rebellion was crushed. That was long before   
   Afghanistan, long before the Berlin Wall and the socialist governments   
   fell in Eastern Europe late 80s - in those bloodless "velvet"   
   revolutions. So the Hungarians in 1956 certainly could not possibly have   
   been encouraged by a Soviet defeat. On the contrary: Soviets had been   
   very victorious in its previous war: the WWII.
