I'm of Lithuanian heritage and know full well that not even Reagan had anything to do with their rebelling and breaking away. The courage and strength of the Polish people who broke the ice, so the speak, did way more to encourage other satellite Soviet states to break away once the SU was disintegrating from within.

I suppose the shrub knows that his base believes that Reagan, single handedly, is responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union. But then, we always knew dumbya was delusional and doesn't read history. Like he said - Don't look at the facts, just listen to the words. :eyes:
