If you ever get the chance see "Good-bye, Lenin". It's a very good movie
concerning the fall of communism in East Germany.

Ronald Reagan. The man who defeated Soviet Communism (no wonder liberals

him). May he rest in peace.

So long, Sir. We will continue your fight against the marxist left. And
we
will
win.


The Russians defeated themselves dimwit! They militarily spent their
country
into oblivion.

We don't have to win anything. That part of the cold war is over. Do you
ever
read a newspaper? I thought not.


Actually, Pope John Paul II and Lech Welesa's Solidarity Union had more to
do with the fall of the Soviet Union than anyone in the US did. Poland was
the first to fall, followed shortly by E. Germany.. both because the people
there developed the intestinal fortitude to stand up against their
oppressive governments.
