Bram of У Фанни Каплан has noticed that, although just a few months ago, Ronald Reagan was given the sole credit for the downfall of Communism, today it’s the Pope who gets all the credit…
[…] a man of physical and moral courage more responsible than any other for bringing down the oppressive, antihuman Communism of Eastern Europe.
Ronald Reagan: history’s forgotten man.
(The quote, by the way, is from the New York Times, although Bram didn’t link to it. Here’s a link to the syndicated version of the article at the Houston Chronicle).

That is the problem with humanity. When a man is laid for a year in his grave, they associate his victories with another man….
Probably both the Pope and Reagan played large rolls in the fall of communism–though, however much I love the Pope, I think that Reagan, and Reagans God were mainly crucial to the outcome.
