I just referenced those three names — Reagan, Thatcher, and John Paul II in another post and added Lech Walesa (spelling) too. Those are the heroes who took down Communism.
Today Martha McCallum and Marvin Kalb made me sick on Fox giving all the credit to Gorbachev. Martha was probalby in elementary school when it happened and she was just taking the lead from that old Commie sympathiser, Kalb.
Some other names: Helmut Kohl, Vaclav Havel.
