Michniks obsession has yielded fruit. President Lech Kaczynski is dead. Slawomir Skrzypek, the president of the National Bank, is dead.
A bit equivocal, isn't it?

The fruit he speaks of is the orderly transition following the tragedy.

God bless the good people and our allies in Poland. The American people stand with the Poles, even as our so called Government leadership distances themselves from her and breaks previous agreements.

Leave it to the Times to praise Putin in this piece.
How do we know it was an accident?

Abosute genius from a former imprisoned Polish dissident: “And my obsession has been that we should have a revolution that does not resemble the French or Russian, but rather the American, in the sense that it be for something, not against something. A revolution for a constitution, not a paradise. An anti-utopian revolution. Because utopias lead to the guillotine and the gulag.
To: lizol
All that can be said, where the Russians are concerned, is we will see. It is well for Roger Cohen to offer Putin his adoration but remember that same Putin is slaughtering at this moment in the name of empire.

Michniks obsession has yielded fruit. President Lech Kaczynski is dead. Slawomir Skrzypek, the president of the National Bank, is dead. And yet that pig, Jaruzelski still lives.

Because utopias lead to the guillotine and the gulag. That's brilliant. Just absolutely, hands down, unquestionably top-10 most intelligent and astute historical observations ever.

SO the Slimes elevates Michnik to spokesperson. The guy that equates socialism with democracy.
That sucks.

Yeah, Michnik actually is not the best person to talk about his sorrow after this tragedy

Anyone who has suffered that humiliation, at some level, wants revenge. I know all the lies. I saw people being killed. But I also know that revanchism is never ending. And my obsession has been that we should have a revolution that does not resemble the French or Russian, but rather the American, in the sense that it be for something, not against something. A revolution for a constitution, not a paradise. An anti-utopian revolution. Because [Hope & Change] leads to the guillotine and the gulag.Wow. Gotta join others in highlighting this quote.

After all it is the SLIMES.
I would much rather hear from one of my heroes: LECH!

“How do we know it was an accident?”
Because “Lizol” said it was; and stated in another thread that the author who hinted at it being a conspiracy is a lunatic. Guy sure has great intel. somthing like you would expect from a James Bond movie.

That would make a good Tea Party sign.

The genocidal monster Putin is guilty of mass murder of many thousands of Christian Georgian patriots fighting for their homeland against criminal Russian barbarian invaders. You may choose not to recognize the Christianity, or even the humanity of Putin’s innocent victims, but Georgians are people too, and Americans are aware of evil Putin’s horrible crimes, despite the hard work or his sycophantic apologists.

You are way too bizarre to respond to.
I will say this: Most Georgians would like Mussolini Sasshkavili to go away. Maybe he can get a job with Soros.
