I like that idea too. No!! I'm not evil, the world is.

Just a small rumor (take it as such, I can't justify this). In 1974-5, during the Portuguese Revolution, US didn't intervene while communist attempted to take over. As a result, Angola fell to the communists and Portugal was ruled by communist for about a year.

Someone told me that US non-intervention resulted from a secret agreement between Washington and Moscow. Moscow was allowed to move on if Cabinda's oil was to fall under US control.

This is a rumor and nobody will confirm it. Moreover, 35 years later, nobody can have access to Salazar's archives. All of them were transfered to Moscow and remain their to our days.
