When talking about Ronald Reagan, I have to be personal. We in Poland took him so personally. Why? Because we owe him our liberty.
Thank God for Ronald Reagan.

Polish Honor the Great Liberator
Liberals often engage in revisionist history when discussing the Cold War. According to them, the Soviet Union would have ended regardless of who was President during the 80's. We all know that is nonsense though.We aren't the only ones who know this. The Polish love Ronald Reagan so much that they are willing to erect a statue in his honor. Ronald Reagan truly was the "Great Liberator". If you disagree, read this article by Lech Walesa, which includes the following:
Thank God for Ronald Reagan.

The Russian people are proud and they should be. Apparently though, they are alone in their view when compared to other countries in Eastern Europe.
I think a lot of younger people might be less aware. But even Kohl of former West Germany, who was no fan of Reagan at the time, gives Reagan credit. Reagan certainly wasn't alone. Thatcher, Pope John Paul II, and Gorbachev were all important players, but you have to give some credit to Reagan. He was not the warmonger that his opponents made him out to be. When Gorbachev was ready to talk, Reagan talked and both countries disarmed.
We can disagree about the end of the Cold War, but you have to at least admit that Reagan was a great and important figure in world history. Yes?
