Once again, liberals supported sanctions and bans against South Africa.

[In veno, veritas]

Non sequitur. The fact that liberals supported or opposed sanctions and bans against South Africa does nothing for the argument.

As much respect as I have for Lech Walesa, there were a lot of other factors that helped Poland. Engagement by the West has been credited as being an important factor. It would be like saying the American Revolution was solely because of George Washington; it's just too simplistic.
