It was Gorbachev himself who acknowledged publicly the role of John Paul II in the fall of Communism. "What has happened in Eastern Europe in recent years would not have been possible without the presence of this Pope, without the great role even political that he has played on the world scene" (quoted in La Stampa, March 3, 1992).

Bwahahaha! Of course the egomaniac Gorbachev would not give full credit to Ronald Reagan's superior strategery. Poor Mikhail has been trying to insert himself into world politics ever since his star faded. He's even available for speaking engagements in the U.S. Now how hilarious is that?!!

Next thing you'll be quoting Jimmuh Carter.
